Coyote Aventuras Edu Experiences

We coordinate study abroad experiences and teacher-led groups that highlight Mesoamerica’s extraordinary cultural diversity, ancient history, communal organization, and ecological diversity.

About Us

We are a diverse collective of travelers, educators, artisans, nature lovers, and program coordinators who are passionate about building bridges across the world through the power of experiential learning. Through our vast network of business partners and collaborators in the region we construct educational journeys that connect students with the ancestral cosmovisions that are at the heart of Mesoamerican cultures.

Our educational journeys accommodate professors from a wide range of academic disciplines.  We work with diverse departments such as Spanish, Latin American Studies, Archeology, Environmental Studies, Economics, History, Gender Studies, Anthropology, Food Studies, Religious Studies, and many more.

Coyote Edu has consistently impressed me with their attention to detail.  They are organized, prioritize safety, and have a young vibrant staff with essential cultural knowledge, making experiences more fun for students.

-Dr. Sarah Portnoy, USC

My students and I are grateful to the Coyotes for a transformational educational experience. Not only did we learn through our experiences with them in Oaxaca but we felt a strong connection to them, the land and the communites they introduced us to.

-Dr. Genny Ballard, Centre College

This trip through time in Mesoamerica has been completely transformative. I have made unforgettable memories and have had the privilege to meet amazing people who have altered my outlook on life. I had the opportunity to truly immerse myself in nature and culture, while simultaneously absorbing history I once had no knowledge of, and I am beyond grateful for that privilege.
