About
This program brings students to the beautiful Lake Atitlan in the highlands of Guatemala and exposes them to a variety of complex ecological, social, and political issues related to the lake and surrounding communities. Lectures and readings for ecology, nature, and society will be complemented by several field trips to local communities, various NGO projects, and the University del Valle campus. The hands-on Aquatic and Wetland Ecology class will allow students to gain an understanding of lake-ecosystem processes through several small experiments and observational studies.
