It was excellent. Based on sketchy reports from past adventurers of varying repute, there are tales of an old city in the primeval Honduran rain forest.
A well known fiction author Douglas Preston hooks up with some other old rich white guys and they use Lidar (like sonar but used above ground) to possibly penetrate below the rain forest cover and locate ruins. Spoiler alert they do locate at least two huge sites and then go in on foot to explore one of them.
The author and four other people developed a form of flesh eating bacteria from sand fly bites called Leishmaniasis. The cure and treatment can be brutal and take months or years. Couple of people are still sick from it.
Snakes called Fer-de-lance live where they went and people often have to get limbs amputated after being bit. They spit venom up to 6 feet and often jump-strike, higher than your knee. If you want to barf up your breakfast, google the snake's name along with effects.
They figure that no humans have visited the valley they explored since before Cortes in the 1500's. These guys had money, helicopters, modern camping equipment and protection, and ex-SAS members protecting them on the 10 day trip and they still almost died going there
