GLEN VAUDREY: Whole Wide World #18

18. Honduras
Within Honduras can be found perhaps one of the most celebrated Mayan cities: Copán. Today, rather than being known as a lost civilization leaving behind fabulous lost cities, the Mayans are better known for their long count, which is said to end in 2012. This has given rise to a number of end-of-days prophecies; however, I doubt any of them will match the terror of the prospect of having to watch the film 2012 again.

Away from the prophecies of doom we find the Wihwin, a mysterious amphibious creature that is said to resemble a horse but with prominent fangs. It is claimed to inhabit the Caribbean coastal waters of Honduras and to occasionally come ashore for some reason perhaps known only to itself.
