After Jim Woodman's mother was sent to prison, he and his brother and sister were sent to live with their father. Rather than disrupt his new family, their father devised an extraordinary plan for his two sons: set up a base camp in Honduras and search for Ciudad Blanca, the legendary lost city hidden deep within the rainforest.
Their father, an eccentric adventurer who had founded the International Explorers Society, gave the parents of three other teenage boys every reason to believe the journey had been carefully planned and the risks properly considered.
It hadn't.
He sent seventeen-year-old Jimmy, his sixteen-year-old brother Henry, and three of their friends into the remote and largely unexplored Honduran jungle. To guide them, their father hired a Vietnam veteran and snake hunter-a man he had never met-in exchange for a couple of airline tickets and the promise of $500 upon their safe return.
What followed was an extraordinary journey through one of the most isolated regions of Central America. The five teenagers faced swollen rivers, venomous snakes, relentless rain, and the challenges of surviving deep in the Mosquitia. But their greatest danger became their guide, whose increasingly erratic behavior escalated into threats to kill the boys and leave them in the jungle.
The expedition was later featured in Sports Illustrated and on ABC's American Sportsman. But the full story-and the chaotic childhood that led Jim into the jungle at seventeen-remained largely untold for 50 years.
Between Two Jungles is a coming-of-age memoir about adventure, survival, family, and the strange circumstances that can shape a life.
