Updating our guide to the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve
>> http://www.planeta.com/ecotravel/mexico/yucatan/siankaan.html
"Sian Ka'an is Mayan for "where the sky is born." Such poetic language perfectly suits this lovely reserve, which comprises tropical forests, wetlands, reefs and a beautiful Caribbean coast." |

ELSEWHERE ON THE WEB -- Here are two Yucatan-specific sites of note:
afterwilma.info

| Quote: | | This blog offers specialised information for travellers trying to find out the latest developments and tourism professionals to demonstrate how Canc?n and the Riviera Maya are getting back on their feet |
Merida Insider
http://www.meridainsider.com
| Quote: | | We offer news, business reviews, tips, advice, and unsolicited & extremely personal opinions about living in Mexico, Merida, and the Yucatan. This is a community project by the gringo residents here, in and around Merida. Coping with a new language, a new culture, and the miscellaneous regulations imposed on foreigners in Mexico has tended to bind us. |

The high impact of shore excursions - afterwilma
http://www.afterwilma.info/2006/03/22/high-impact-excursions
| Quote: | | These ëactivitiesí would seem to compromise Fonaturís plan for the Costa Maya (published in 2002), identifying it as ìintegrally planned resortî area featuring ìlow densityî and ìabsolute respect for biodiversityî. It isnít quite working out that way. |

|
|
The Austin American-Statesman's travel section on Sunday, Dec. 31, 2006, featured a piece on the Yucatan cenotes:
http://www.statesman.com/life/content/life/stories/travel/12/31/31cenotes.html
an excerpt, by Deborah Abrams Kaplan
Cenotes are unique to the Yucatán, which has one of the largest limestone platforms in the world, covering more than 96,500 square miles. Millions of years of ocean level changes, combined with rain and carbon dioxide, dissolved the limestone. The result? An estimated 7,000 cenotes — sinkholes that are natural entrances to the underwater river system.
More than a thousand of these caves have been explored and mapped, showing the Yucatán as the source of the world's longest underwater cave systems. |
