An expedition to film and bring attention to endangered rivers becomes a national crisis when angry Mayan villagers kidnap paddlers they’ve mistaken for hydroelectric engineers. This high definition film also includes breathtaking footage of six wild jungle rivers and the best of Guatemala’s cultural and natural attractions.

The Highlands to the Sea Expedition funds the RIOS Guatemala Foundation and takes us on a journey from mountain cloud forests, down the class III and IV rapids of the Rios Lanquin and Cahabon and to the Caribbean Sea.

Ancient Mayan cities, hot springs, indigenous markets, environmental projects and jungle wildlife are among the attractions on this world-class adventure!

Max Baldetty, visionary leader of the recently established RIOS Guatemala Foundation, describes the mission to provide for the enjoyment, preservation and restoration of wild rivers.
