Quiriguá
A new sun rises over the steaming Guatemalan jungle. In the low, green forest, a mighty king stands tall, placidly surveying his realm. He faces north, and the dazzling morning sun throws his face into dramatic relief. He is dressed as befits a mighty king, with an ornate headdress, high...

Antigua
Guatemala, 1541. The two Mayan kingdoms, the K’iche and the Kakchikel, have been defeated by Spanish forces fighting under Pedro de Alvarado, a veteran of the conquest of Mexico and one of Cortés’ top lieutenants. The Spanish construction of a capital city in Guatemala is well under way,...

Tikal
Tikal, the mightiest of the Maya cities, had languished in decadence for a century and a half. No new great temples had been built, no new history carved into the ageless gray stone. The wars had continued, battles and skirmishes with competing Mayan city-states such as Quiriguá to the south,...

Mariscos
Cicadas hum in the heat of mid-afternoon. Sunlight gilds the waters placidly lapping against the shore. This water is warm and so clear I can see the fish swimming about my ankles. Soon sunset will paint the skies above these jungle hills in peach and magenta. Dusk will fall, geckos will...
