Rumors of a lost city in the jungles of Honduras were known for generations among the locals, and adventurous explorers since the age of the conquistadors who went in search of it always returned empty-handed — if they returned at all. But thanks to modern technology, it was finally discovered recently by today’s guest and real-life Indiana Jones, Steve Elkins. On this episode, we talk to Steve about his adventures, as chronicled in Douglas Preston’s bestseller The Lost City of the Monkey God: A True Story. Here, we learn the logistics of embarking on a jungle adventure in terrain so treacherous it’s known by the locals as The Gates of Hell, what Steve and his team actually discovered once they got there, and how this journey helped bring to light the severity of illegal deforestation in the region.
