Mexico Dissertation Student

I was on the terrestrial site for 6 weeks to collect data for my undergraduate dissertation. I absolutely loved every moment, and achieved a great project at the end. There is brilliant project support from the moment you sign up to the moment you hand in your dissertation.

You will be able to climb the ruined Mayan temples of Calakmul and look out across a sea of green. An awesome experience. Some of the wildlife in the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve are spider monkeys, howler monkeys, jaguar, Baird's tapir, peccaries, toucans, and crocodiles. Surveys include mist netting for birds & bats, mammal track transects, and reptile surveys.

There are four terrestrial camps scattered around and you may have chance to visit several; I stayed at three. Accommodation is in tents so bring a sleeping mat and bag. The food is fantastic and sitting down as a big group to eat is great. There are extra activities organised such as movie night and there is always a surprise when it's someone's birthday.
