Forests of the Maya
A look at the forests of the Yucatan - the magical land of the Maya. The watery underworld of these forests is still being explored and holds the key to how animals and people survive the dry season.
The ancient temples of the Maya still tower over the forests of the Yucatan, where jaguars, monkeys and vibrant tropical birds now make their home. It’s a land full of secrets, with a vast watery underworld that is still being explored and which holds the key to how animals and people survive the dry season.
