On Christmas Eve, 1971, Juliane Koepcke fell from the sky. 53 years ago, she plummeted from 3000 meters, 10000 feet, above the Amazon Rainforest.  She was the lone survivor of a plane crash in the heart of the jungle, and she not only defied all the odds and survived to tell the tale, but she began a mission to protect the very rainforest that she believes saved her life.

Guided by a disc of cosmic power, he ventured beyond the threshold, vanishing into realms unknown, leaving behind a legacy steeped in mystique and wonder.

Today, that Portal draws seekers to its ancient location, inviting all who dare to unlock the secrets of enlightenment.

Only 11 years after Columbus “discovered” America, an indigenous leader and his followers rose up against the invading Spaniards, making him the 1st Rebel of the Americas.

Today we tell the story of Hatuey, a chieftain of the Tainos, who defied the tides of history, and became a symbol of indigenous resistance in the Caribbean.

While his name is well-known throughout the Caribbean, his story is not so well-known everywhere else.

Let’s change that.

Today, we bring you a story of resistance, courage, and the indomitable spirit of the powerful leader named Hatuey.

Welcome to the Mysteries of Latin America, where we bring you the myths, legends and mysteries of North, central, South America and the Caribbean to bring you compelling stories, many of which have been lost to time or confined to certain regions of Latin America…well, here we find them and share them with the world.

In 1910, in the depths of the Naica mine in Northern Mexico, miners tunneling for precious metals got a lot more than they bargained for. After they breached a rock wall, their lanterns lit up a cavern straight out of science fiction, covered with transparent crystals growing up to a meter, or about 3 feet 3 inches. It was given the name La Cueva de las Espadas, or the Cave of Swords, alluding the the long blade-like shape of the crystals…Ah, but there was more to come…

Fast forward 90 years to April 2000, where two brothers, while digging a new shaft deep in an unexplored part of that mine, broke into a cave of staggering proportions. Imagine TREES made of crystals, adorning the ground and ceiling like giant ice sculptures left by nature.

This is the birthplace of one of Earth's most extraordinary underground landscapes—a real-life Fortress of Solitude—the Cave of the Crystals of Naica.
