Mexico Marine Biology on the Baja Peninsula
Orientation in Mexico City
Learn about Mexico’s people and dramatic past at the Zócalo as you visit the Catedral Metropolitana de la Asunción de María and the Palacio Nacional, where you’ll see the evocative murals painted by Diego Rivera. Develop your Spanish language skills during an exciting three-day introduction to Mexico.
Homestay, Marine Biology and Travel
Work with marine biologists and explore Baja’s unique marine ecosystems where the desert meets the crystal blue sea. Swim with sea lions, snorkel along reefs at Cabo Pulmo, and interview locals in fishing camps on coastal islands.
Life with your host family introduces you to La Paz, a sun-splashed city by the sea, where you taste tacos de pescado and practice your Spanish while strolling the famous Malecon.
Conclude your summer of marine discovery at the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve on the beautiful Caribbean coast of Quintana Roo.
