Adventures in Yucatan, Mexico

After our days of traveling to visit different places around the peninsula, it’s time for classes to begin! Our academic classes go beyond the classroom, we give our students the tools they need to interact with local people and understand the cultural context. We provide the resources for them to discover and develop their own personal interests within this new culture.  At the same time that our classes started, we were able to marvel at one of the many archaeological ruins that still stands in Yucatan, this particular site has stelae ( upright monuments containing information in the form of texts, images or a combination of the two) and the tomb of the zones most important leader, known as Ukit Kan Le´t Tok. We were also able to swim in the cenote , or natural well, in the community of Dzalbay. To reach the crystal blue water, we had to venture underground! The food throughout our trip was amazing, and various families from the community known as “Black Jaguar” in the Mayan language
