Amazing Jungle Adventure In The Yucatan Peninsula

By Linda Patterson


The Yucatan Peninsula is covered by a thick jungle that is lushly filled with many trees as well as a wild forest. The jungle is no longer cultivated. However according to researches, the ancient Maya people highly and devotedly managed the landscapes before their civilization collapsed. The wild forest was once the ancient Mayan cities which was abandoned and 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 there was an indication of human manipulation on the peninsula's ecosystem proved that an ancient civilization prospered in the jungle ages ago. The plants did not evolve naturally as they were found to be spread out uniformly. This observation only establishes that the Mayans rigorously transformed the jungle where they established their civilizations. The place has long been abandoned and this has caused most of the plant species that were highly cultivated to go untamed.

Nearly all of the plants are species that were highly cultivated however they have gone untamed after being neglected for many, many years.
