Our Programs

Custom-built, faculty-led study abroad programs rooted in science, culture, and community in the Yucatán Peninsula.

This flagship program immerses students in the diverse ecosystems across the Yucatan Peninsula while learning about the ecology of tropical terrestrial and marine ecosystems, local environmental challenges, current and pre-European Mayan culture, and how local culture and traditions promote the environmental sustainability of the Yucatan Peninsula. 

While this course can be tailored to anyone, it can be ideal for Faculty in Environmental Science, Ecology, Latin American Studies, Anthropology, or Global Studies

Dive into an unforgettable journey: explore museums and ancient temples, swim in sparkling cenotes, spot wildlife in vibrant forests, witness millions of bats at dusk, and snorkel alongside marine life. Connect with local culture through traditional cooking, community exchanges, and conversations with researchers uncovering the secrets of the region’s ecology. More than a trip—it’s a transformation.

Note: All logistics, site access, local guides, meals, and academic coordination are handled by LATAM Study Abroad — leaving faculty free to teach and students free to learn.
