  • INCREDIBLE SURVIVAL! 438 DAYS LOST IN THE PACIFIC

    Just a few days ago a Mexican tuna boat rescued an Australian man after his damaged catamaran had been lost in the Pacific Ocean for 3 months.

    But that’s not the story we’re telling today.


    In 2012, two men left the Pacific coast of Mexico in a small fishing boat, hoping to have a successful catch and bring some much-needed money home.

    Only one made it back to the shore alive. That shore was in the Marshall Islands, over 5000 miles away, and he was on that boat for 438 days.

    I’m Andrew Colón, and this story of survival is our latest story

    on the Mysteries of Latin America Podcast.

  • Vanished Dutch Hikers Mystery Pt3-The Conclusion of "Secrets in the Jungle"

    Welcome to the final episode of our series dedicated to the story of the disappearances of Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon, two young women from the Netherlands who went to Panama for some sun, fun and adventure.

    It was on an ill-fated hiking trip though, that these two young women disappeared and it’s still a mystery as to what exactly happened to them.


    We’ve called the podcast Secrets in the Jungle-The Disappearance of Kris and Lisanne, and I’d like to thank you for joining us here on Spotify, iTunes, Google Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. In this final episode, Part 3 we’ll look at some of the theories that may explain what happened, and we’ll let you know about some recent developments in the case that just might put the whole thing to bed.

     

    If you haven’t heard parts 1 and 2, you might want to check those out first before continuing so you can get the full story.

  • THE LEGENDS OF THE WOMAN IN BLACK AND THE ALUXES, THE ELVES OF THE YUCATÁN

    A mysterious woman in black roams the streets of Guatemala, asking strangers for help, and in the jungles of the Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, some not-always merry pranksters who run wild and are blessings or

    curses, depending on your behavior.

    But these aren’t just stories from centuries gone-by, these are tales told by people who swear they’ve seen them today…

     

    I’m Andrew Colón, and these are just two of the many myths, legends and mysteries of Latin America.

  • EPECUEN: MODERN DAY ATLANTIS...THE CITY THAT SANK

    Welcome to another episode of The Mysteries of Latin America. I'm your host, Andrew Colón.

    I’ve been a huge fan of mysteries, myths, legends and stories for most of my life.

    One of the things I’ve discovered by living outside of the US for a few decades is how little most people outside Latin America know about Latin America.

     

    And now, on to this week’s episode….

    Today, we’re gonna take a little trip to explore the story of a once-thriving tourist hub, that met a very eerie fate. Join me as we uncover the secrets of Epecuén, The Modern Day Atlantis in Argentina.
