We leave on December 3rd for an overnight in Belize City and then three days on Manta Caye, snorkeling in the Glover's Reef Marine Reserve and meeting with local fishermen and wildlife researchers in the area. Then it's off to Guatemala, first to the area around Tikal and then time in the Maya Biosphere, again meeting with researchers and with local communities that are transforming their economies through eco-tourism. We will visit El Mirador as well as Tikal, and get an unusual view of the landscape by traveling by helicopter over the rougher terrain. Everywhere we go will be rich with wildlife and discovery -- we'll post photos and reflections when we can!
