Unearth a Story!

Hidden beneath the dense jungles of Central America, ancient Mayan cities like Tikal and El Mirador reveal towering temples and complex structures built centuries ago. This engaging 60-minute program explores how these sites were discovered, what archaeologists have learned from them, and why the stories of the Maya continue to captivate and inspire us today. This immersive experience is presented by Chris McCormack, travel speaker and tour guide, and is based on his hikes and travels through the jungles of Central America. 
Free and open to the public.
