Ep. 26: The children pursue gold cities while fleeing Doctor Marinche and Tatiola through a dangerous swamp.

26

Guided by the Serpent God's manuscript, the children search for cities of gold, pursued by Doctor Marinche and Tatiola. After the Doctor's group is attacked by a giant eagle and falls into a ravine, Mendoza arrives and offers assistance only after the Doctor surrenders his weapon. The group then reaches a prairie indicated by the manuscript as a necessary crossing point. Marinche claims exhaustion and stays behind, knowing the adventurers are actually entering a perilous swamp infested with alligators. The episode also features a mini-documentary examining the persistence of Mayan pagan rituals and beliefs in modern times, despite the historical arrival of Christianity, citing Wikipedia as the source.
