Mexico. The Veins of the Earth

Description

On Mexico's Caribbean coast, Cancun has grown from a fishing town in the 1970s to an international vacation spot, drawing visitors from Europe. Under the party atmosphere lies the pristine Yucatan Aquifer, described by some as the world's largest underground river. On her debut Foreign Correspondent assignment, Jane Cowan explores its canyons and assesses debates about threats to its sanctity, as tourism expands in Cancun and beyond.
