Climb into Mexico’s Mysteries with Arcelia Garcia

On this episode of the Explorer Albert podcast, join us for an adventurous journey from the peaks of the highest mountains to the depths of the deepest caves with archaeologist, rock climber, storyteller, and teacher, Arcelia Garcia. Since 2004, Arcelia has adeptly combined her rock climbing and alpine skills to explore some of Mexico's most inaccessible archaeological sites, including high mountains where the Mexica made offerings, deep caves of the Maya, and vertical cliffs where the ancient Zoque people dwelled. In a fascinating conversation with host Albert Lin, Arcelia delves into our relationship with caves and the intrinsic connection between nature and humanity. They share insights from their exploration of the ancient Maya world, highlighting the significance of stalactites as indicators of nearby symbolic offerings. Arcelia also reflects on her "flow state" reconstructing experiences from 700 years ago, and advocates for slowing down to deeply connect with nature.
