Dr. Walker Helicopters in to The Hidden City of El Mirador

Dr. Marlan Walker, whose group travel experiences over the past 50 years in Latin America and other destinations has provided the inspiration for AdventureWalkers, had a rare opportunity to see an ancient Mesoamerican city in its pristine, near undiscovered form last month when he flew by helicopter into the El Mirador (The Lookout) complex in Northern Guatemala. Characterized by the largest pyramid yet discovered in Mesoamerica surrounded by 27 separate city complexes, the site is mind-boggling in its scope. We'll continue to follow the cues of El Mirador's most committed advocate, Dr. Richard Hansen, a UCLA-trained Archeologist who has spent more than a decade studying the site and working to protect it for its archeological and cultural value to Guatemala and the rest of the world.
