Here is the complete 220 pages of large-format full-color photos from recent six-years of research by FLAAR and FLAAR Mesoamerica in project of coordination and cooperation with CONAP for the Reserva de la Biosfera Maya.
Since there are many hundreds of edible plants of each biodiverse ecosystem we have focused on savannas and swamps that have not been previously visited or studied by any botanist, ecologist, geologist or archaeologist.
With high-resolution aerial photos and panorama photos from iPhone Pro and Google Pixel pano-mode you can see in this publication incredible scenes of the Neotropical area around the Maya sites of Naranjo-Sa’al, Yaxha, Nakum, Topoxte Island and El Peru-Waka’. You can now see what the Classic Maya had available to eat without slash-and-burn milpa agriculture.
