It is tempting to travel extensively during our summer in Merida. Distances between Yucatan and other areas of Mexico are quite far; however, and trips beyond the peninsula will be difficult to do without careful planning. It is far more effective to plan your travel to areas close by. This anthropology class as well as the Spanish language class are designed to complement what you learn in your everyday experiences in Mexico. Weekly and weekend fieldtrips are planned so that you do get out into the countryside and learn about the Yucatan first hand. Be careful not to plan trips that extend beyond the weekends into the class times.
