About this film
Part of Itchy Boots’ ongoing motorcycle-travel series, this episode shifts the focus from a named destination on a map to the challenge of reaching a remote place within the reserve. Santo and his brother accompany the journey into the jungle, where the destination is known as Canta Gallo. The episode’s title casts it as a search for a lost city, while the description centres on the effort to get to this hidden place. It is a travel story shaped by access and the landscape rather than by a list of stops.
The journey
The route leads deep into the Indio Maiz Nature Reserve in Nicaragua, with Santo and his brother as companions on the attempt to reach Canta Gallo. The description links the place’s long period without visitors to a hurricane, unrest and the pandemic, and notes that the jungle has become overgrown. Those conditions give the approach its defining character: the destination is not presented as an easy stop, but as a place to work towards through dense growth. The account stays focused on reaching Canta Gallo and the changed state of the route after years without visitors.
