Scavenger Hunt in Mérida
All the students did a scavenger hunt that combined both tourism and a fun competetive game.
They had to work as a team to learn how to navigate through and explore a new city. They got to discovery some Mayan Culture that they probably never knew existed from the locals they met along the way.
Quickly they built new friendships and relationships, discovered the city (especially the food and souvenir shops but couldn't stop, time was ticking :).
Let's not forget to mention the great workout they all received. Along with all that demostratrated some effective team work and building strategies, all while having a great time.
