This fascinating expedition into Guatemala explores the important role of nature in local culture through the ages and the risks it now faces. The flourishing Mayan civilisation may have collapsed centuries ago, but the nature-oriented values they established continue to thrive. Magnificent birds have always played an important role here, and it is they who lead the viewer deep into Guatemala’s spectacular landscapes – from lava-spitting volcanoes and mystical cloud forests to lush jungles and the black beaches of the Pacific. Along the way, we discover iconic animals including Guatemalan beaded lizards, howler monkeys, agoutis, coatis and the mighty jaguar, in a comprehensive celebration of Guatemala’s glorious wilderness.
