International Field Schools

Yucatan Discovery and TTT, a private university located in downtown Merida, Yucatan have worked together since 1992 to assist international educational institutions – such as UCLA; Capilano University in Vancouver; NBCC and the University of New Brunswick – in creating field schools, professional development, volunteer, summer inter-session, and semester-long cultural and linguistic immersion programs. The international study programs offered at TTT are customised to fit the needs of each institution, and range in length from 10 days to a full semester.

Traditionally, the focus has been Anthropology, Archaeology, Latin American Studies, Spanish and Maya Language. However, Arts and Technology-centered infrastructure for Audio Engineering, Design and Music are also available.

Teaching space in AV-equipped, air-conditioned classrooms and labs; logistical and accommodations support; day trips, and excursions throughout the country can be coordinated through Yucatan Discovery, as can accommodation for the duration of the program. Home-stays with trusted local families are the most commonly used option, but hotels in every price range and short-stay apartments are also available in Merida.

Archaeology Monday (pt.7): Dzibanche

Image
Welcome to "Archeology Monday" our newest feature here on YucatanDiscovery.com Check back every week for a new profile and photos of some of our favourite archaeological sites! One of the first things you notice when you arrive in Dzibanche (at least this has been true in the past) is an almost absolute lack of other visitors. Given the splendor of the site and its proximity to tourist attractions such as Bacalar and the state capital of Chetumal, the site is for some reason largely ignored by virtually all holiday makers. Dzibanche which in Maya means "writing on wood" was a large city and likely early capital of the famous Kan dynasty which ruled over Calakmul. Some researchers even claim that Dzibanche features the most ancient use of the hieroglyphic Kaan dynasty family emblem. Excavation at the site have also uncovered a hieroglyphic stairway which depict reliefs of bound captives supposedly captured by lord Yuknoon Ch´een the first. Though Dzibanche is gener

Archaeology Monday (pt.11) El Hormiguero

Image
Located about 45 kmfrom of Xpujil, to the very south of the state of Campeche and just a few kilometers lay the ruins of El Hormiguero (meaning ant hill in spanish) whose original name I believe has been lost to history. Due to its isolated location this site is seldom visited by tourists, which is a shame as it boasts some really impressive structures and is particularly good for spotting wild-life. Although at one time an eco-archaeological camp seems to have been set up for visitors, by the time I visited in 2018 with my good friend Zane, the camps seemed long abandoned. The road to access the site was fairly rough, though as we visited before the rainy season it was still fairly accessible. That being said there was very little in the way of signage so we had to depend almost entirely on google maps. The site was first reported by Karl Ruppert and John Dennison in the thirties, thought it was not until the late 70s that excavations first began. Archaeologists suggest that the

Archaeology Monday (pt.4): Becan

Image
Welcome to "Archaeology Monday" our newest feature here on YucatanDiscovery.com! Check back every week for a new profile and photos of some of our favourite archaeological sites! Located near the geographical center of the Yucatan peninsula in the Mexican state of Campeche, Becan is most famous for grandiose Rio Bec style of architecture and its particularly well developed defence systems which feature a surrounding wall and moat. Archaeological evidence suggests that Becan was first occupied by Maya peoples during the Preclassic period sometime in the sixth century BC, however most of the large scale construction in the site seems to have been erected in the third century AC with construction having basically ceased by the ninth century AC. Becan has also been the site of the discovery of significant finds which include relatively intact tombs of ancient rulers. As is the case with virtually all ancient cities in the Region, Becan owed allegiance to Calakmul. The significant
