Seized by the reports, American diplomat John Lloyd Stephens and British artist Frederick Catherwood both already celebrated for their adventures in Egypt, the Holy Land, Greece, and Rome sailed together out of New York Harbor on an expedition into the forbidding rainforests of present-day Honduras, Guatemala, and Mexico.
