The Forest
Personal memory by Gladys Holez
1962 • Road from San Cristobal to Palenque, Mexico
“Some time ago, the people would walk through the forest and they would find jungle animals. Back then there were not any highways, which have destroyed the highlands and forest. They built the route of communication (highway) through the forest.”
