A new stop on the itinerary!

I've just confirmed with our guide, Miguel, that we will be able to stop at Tizimin on our way to Rio Lagartos.

Tizimin is a main site of the El Dia de Los Reyes (the festival of the Three Kings), a popular pilgrimage in the Yucatan that takes place each January.

Rio Lagartos, in case you were wondering, is home to beautiful ecological biosphere and is, thus, a popular place for eco-tourism. We will take a boat excursion through this reserve.

This is shaping up to be an exciting leg of the trip!

Happy 2012!

Welcome to a new year!

There's only a few months left to get signed up for COMM 3750 -- the two-week course in the Yucatan this summer, May 14-29.

Join me as we explore varieties of tourism in Mexico. Join me as we explore the region that helped start the buzz (simply by creating a calendar) of the latest "end of the world" craze.

We'll experience beaches. We'll experience Mayan ruins. We'll experience the rich and complex culture of the Yucatan.
