Meet the maker

The mission: Your story in Antigua, Guatemala

After penning an essay about La Leyenda de La Tatuana, you received an invitation to Antigua from Santiago Asturias. 

Could he be related to the famed poet who documented Mayan legends? 

His letter teased, "Want to uncover La Tatuana's true secrets?" The tale, which had survived centuries through oral recitations, had varying versions, emphasizing knowledge's duality as a curse and liberation. 

You were drawn to the chance to uncover more.
