Where is the Selva Maya Rainforest?
The Selva Maya links the Mexican jungles of Campeche and Quintana Roo with the Peten jungle in Guatemala and is part of the Mirador Basin, an important biological corridor connecting the Calakmul ruins with its Mayan sister city Tikal. Part of the Selva Maya is the expanse of land stretching from the Calakmul Biopshere Reserve to the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve to the Mesoamerican Reef. The Selva Maya rainforest totals 6,000,000 acres and is the second largest rainforest in the Americas after the Amazon.
