Mani is an ancient settlement in Yucatan. Studies show that it has been inhabited continously for almost 4000 years, dating from the earliest days of the Maya. After the Spanish conquest, the city became a small center of colonial development and culture, and the architecture and style of that period provide some of the important hallmarks of the location. Also, the Xiu Maya people had their capital at Mani, which has made it an important mine of information for scientists.

The people of Mani, the Xiu, allied themselves with the Spanish upon their arrival and fought the Aztecs together. Later they were one of the peoples evangelized by the church, and there are surviving monasteries and churches in the location to this day. Restoration work is still ongoing.

Overall, tourists report a very friendly, and fun atmosphere that values foreigners as a source of cultural exchange and tourism income.

Boston, MA (PRWEB) March 30, 2009 — To respond to changing needs during the recession, United Planetannounces the launch of two new budget volunteer abroad programs in Mexico. Budget volunteer Quest prices, starting at $795 for one week and an additional $200 per week up to 12 weeks, offer a 39% discount off the average cost of a one-week Quest.

These special budget volunteer Quests were developed to offer a two-for-one opportunity during this unprecedented global recession. First, they offer a way for individuals to strengthen their expertise with international experience during a tight job market, and second, they offer a way for individuals to experience a dream destination at a time when many are foregoing international travel.

The budget Quest option is a pared down version of United Planet’s popular programs. Pre-departure training, insurance, volunteer accommodations or home stays, all meals and orientation are still included. Airfare, vaccinations, and visa fees are additional. Budget Quests do not include guided tours of local sights, however, but volunteers are free to explore the host country at their leisure.

Budget volunteering in Mexico:

Mexico, with an estimated population of 109 million people, is the most populous Spanish-speaking country in the world. Despite being considered an emerging power, Mexico still suffers from uneven income distribution. United Planet volunteers assist social service organizations dedicated to poverty alleviation and improvingchild development through holistic care.

Spanish Language Immersion Option (4 - 16 weeks):
Volunteers staying four weeks or longer in Mexico can choose to add 15 hours of Spanish language classesper week to the first two weeks of their Quest for an additional $175.
