Is this a good one?
- Against others of its kind
- At $270 a day this sits above the $204 median for nature & wildlife. It is cheaper than 2 of the 8 nature & wildlife options mapped here.
- Other things to learn in Mexico
- 6 other options in Mexico, starting with spanish survival week in Oaxaca from $350.
- When to go
- Workable across 7 months of the year — Oct-Apr. Outside that the season is against you, not the school.
- How long it really takes
- Most people give it 5 days, but the honest range is 3 to 10. That spread is wide because how far you take it is up to you.
