Exploration is a state of mind. Join us in the deep jungle of the Explorer Camp to hear stories from intrepid adventurers and discover new ways of exploring. Programmed by The Geography Collective, come deep into Explorer Camp expecting talks, films, games, workshops, installations and interventions.
This year the Secret Garden Party has unveiled the Explorer Camp treasure hunt to discover a treasure chest which has an Intrepid Travel holiday through Guatemala, Belize and Mexico inside.
The Discovery Channel explorer Olly Steeds will be speaking about his adventures and showing his recent programme on the Lost City of Gold - El Dorado - Its very name has become synonymous with the legend of a mythical city of gold lost in the wilds of South America. But is it really a myth? Is there actually a city packed with gold hidden somewhere in the Andes? For hundreds of years explorers have mounted expeditions to find it. Now Olly Steeds, journalist and explorer, has learned of new clues that could mean one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of all time is right around the corner. From the golden churches of the Incan capital Cusco, Olly follows the trail of El Dorado along a road of ruins deep into the remote Andes Mountains, leading an expedition that promises to open a new chapter in the centuries-old hunt for the City of Gold and change the face of archaeology.
