- Let's go!

- You guys ready?

- We got new hats.

- Very nice.

- This is the taxi?

- Yeah, this is it. Come on. Let's go.

My pants are gonna get dirty.

Hey, Jeff. Can you give me some water?

Take a picture.

- Is this it?

- Yeah, this must be.

How you feeling?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

Oh, my God, I'm so glad that's over.

You okay?

- My jeans are all dirty.

- Do you have a telfono?

Thanks.

Bye, puppy!

Wait, how are we gonna get back?

We're gonna call him when we get out.

With what?

We're not gonna get a signal out here.

My phone should work.

It's a world phone.

Hello? Can you hear me now?

It's not funny, Eric.

It's like a 20-mile hike

I'm gonna do in flip-flops.

Eleven.

It's a little funny.

Yeah, it's working.

- Problem solved.

- Can I have my sunglasses?

Is that your brother's Jeep?

Yeah, it is.

It's not funny.

It's a little funny.

We go. Coming?

Yeah, yeah. Come on, let's go. Ready?

- Yeah.

- Come on.

Want a piggyback ride?

- No.

- No?

So, there was this girl who got really,

really drunk one night.

But she sobered up really,

really quickly.

Who is this?

Just the stupid game

that they were playing last night.

But not before she stuck

her tongue down some guy's throat.

Eric.

How much further is it?

We cross a stream, then there

should be a path to the left.

If we seen a village,

then we've gone too far.

Wait, there's a village?

Yeah. A Mayan village.

Why did we leave the hotel again?

Whoa!

- Are you okay?

- Yeah.

Just almost fell.

- F***ing stinks.

- Whoa.

You stink.

How much further

past the stream is it?

You're funny.

Right after, it says.

Yeah, well, I don't see any path.

Can I have some... Thanks.

My legs are sore.

Look!

Don't scare them.

I'm not gonna scare them. Hello!

They look sad.

Hello?

- You guys wanna go talk to them?

- Yeah.

Maybe they can guide us.

I don't think they speak Spanish.

Look.

Where's he going?

It's here. This must be it.

That's the path?

Why was it covered?

I don't think that's the right path.

- It's on the map?

- Yeah.

It's on the map.

Jeff, do you see how old

that map looks?

And it was covered.

Why would it be covered?

Maybe the archaeologists don't want

people to find their site, guys.

Great. They're gonna be thrilled

to see us then.

No, maybe they just found something

valuable, you know,

and they don't want people to rob it,

and just get the Mayans

to keep people away.

- How far away is it?

- It's not far.

- Just feels weird.

- Well, what do you wanna do?

Just turn around

and walk all the way back?

A hidden path

in the middle of the jungle.

So, do you think

those kids were Mayans?

I mean, aren't the Mayans extinct?
