A dense jungle covers the Yucatan Peninsula which is lushly filled with a wild forest and many trees. Nowadays, the jungle is not cultivated but according to researches, it was the ancient Maya people who devotedly and highly managed the landscapes before the end of their civilization. The ancient Maya cities thousands of years ago are now a wild forest as it was left to be eaten by the jungle.
The Jungle Of The Yucatan Peninsula That Has Gone Untamed
In the jungle of the Yucatan, all of the plants and tree species found are the greenery of the Maya civilization which has gone untamed. And before the foreign invasion, there was no forest, only landscapes.
The fact that the peninsula's ecosystem bears the indication that human manipulation was established is one evidence that pointed out that there was an ancient civilization that flourished in the jungle many, many years ago. The plants were found to spread in a uniform manner which is not the case if they evolved naturally. This observation only shows that the Mayans thoroughly altered the jungle where they created their civilizations. After long years of being abandoned, nearly all of the plant species that were once highly cultivated have gone untamed.
Further investigations were done which established the fact that most of the plants that remain to exist are those that are economically important. This shows that the land was greatly used by the ancient people for their food supply.
The majority of the plants that remain to be present are those that are economically important; a fact that has been established through further investigations. Meaning, the ancient people had tremendously used up the land for their provision.
Taking a guided tour is the only way to access the jungle. The roads that were built are found to crisscross the region and the main highways run along the shorelines.
A lot of the inner parts of the jungle are not inhabited apart from some hunters that still are living in small communities. These native villages can be accessed through trail. Electricity is already present in some of the villages.
Much of the inner parts of the jungle are not inhabited excluding some hunters that still dwell in small communities. Some of the native villages already have electricity. And such villages can be accessed by trail.
The peninsula is a flat, rocky terrain and portions of it were turned into National parks and commercial places such as Xcaret and Xel-Ha parks that are both situated in the state of Quintana Roo.
Established in the 1980s, the Xel-Ha theme park, since 1995 was managed by a private company. The natural lagoon and inlet wherein a great number of water species live in is the primary attraction of this park. The park has got a turtle reserve and among the activities provided comprise snorkeling, swimming with the dolphins and scuba diving.
In the 1980s, the Xel-Ha Park was established and a private company is managing it since 1995. The natural lagoon as well as inlet is inhabited by hundreds of water species that are the park's main attraction. The park boasts a turtle reserve and among the activities to choose from comprises swimming with the dolphins, scuba diving as well as snorkeling.
The National Parks and all of the other parks in the peninsula offer the people of today the places to gain insight about the long gone civilization. Plus, these places allow people to experience what it feels like to live during the time of the ancient people.
The peninsula's jungle is where the Mayans settled and established their civilization. It is a dense tropical rainforest that was turned into Mexican villages these days. When it comes to culture and ecology, the peninsula is really diverse.
