In search of the ‘white jaguar’: Archaeologists travel deep into the jungle to find a lost Maya city
CHIAPAS STATE IN MEXICO—About 7 hours by kayak up the Tzendales River, our GPS receiver falls overboard and vanishes in the deep blue water. We are on the fourth day of an expedition deep into the Montes Azules Biosphere Reserve, one of Mexico's largest, most remote protected areas. On the side of the GPS was an SOS button that we could press to contact emergency services or even summon a rescue helicopter. Now, traveling up a river no one else has navigated for at least 10 years, our small group of archaeologists, guides, and observers is cut off.
But maybe that's fitting, as we are seeking a lost city. Called Sac Balam, it was founded more than 400 years ago by the Lacandon Maya, one of several Indigenous groups in southern Mexico and Central America who resisted Spanish colonial rule for centuries.
It wasn't the kind of Maya city tourists flock to today. Sac Balam didn't have majestic stone temples, elaborate tombs, or intricate sculptures. In fact, it was probably so unassuming that its ruins might elude an untrained eye. But hundreds of Lacandon once lived there, hidden from Spanish eyes and free to continue a way of life their ancestors had practiced for centuries: Read more.
Art by Kayum Ma'ax
He is a Lacandon Maya artist of the monkey clan. The Lacandon are a small indigenous Maya group in the jungles of southern Mexico. He lives in the tiny rainforest village of Naha deep in the Lacandon Biosphere of Chiapas, Mexico. He works in acrylics on canvas. In his artwork Kayum conveys actual events, lifeways, creation stories and rituals of a culture nearly gone - as well as his dreams, an important aspect of traditional life.

Lacanjá and Yaxchilán, Lacandona Jungle, Chiapas, México
Lacanjá is a Lacandona community located in a biosphere reserve and close to the Bonampak Archaeological Zone in the southeast of Mexico. With innumerable waterfalls and rivers, the Lacandona jungle is inhabited by the Mayan descendants of the Lacandones ethnic group who still preserve their traditions.
The Lacandona jungle is one of the most representative places of nature in Mexico. The trees can measure up to 60 meters in height and support the development of fauna as well as ferns, orchids and countless other plant species.
The Mayan language does impose itself. Alcohol is not allowed, there is no trash and one can calmly walk at 3:00 in the morning, worrying only about some Jaguar that is out for a walk.
