Expedition Leader Melissa Silva returns for Part 3 of her Mexico biodiversity webinar series, once again showing us there’s more to discover than you may realize in this widely varied country. In this webinar, she reveals some of the most outstanding aspects of the states on the Gulf of Mexico coast, the Yucatan Peninsula and the Mexican Caribbean. While this region is well known for hosting some of the country’s most popular tourist destinations, such as Cancun and Chichen Itzá—it also has much more to offer curious travelers. Learn about the culturally and naturally significant Olmec archaeological site of Tres Zapotes near the Papaloapan River in the state of Veracruz. Discover the magnificent mangroves of the San Pedro River in Tabasco, dating back to the last interglacial period. Then, move on to the Mexican jungles of the south to meet some impressive fauna, like howler monkeys, and see stunning flora, such as the unique kapok tree. In Mexico, there’s a piece of paradise in every state!
