- The Treasure Coast Also Has a Story to Tell…
As a journalist and storyteller, I feel a commitment to build bridges between cultures, to recover what seemed forgotten
Every time we produce a new episode of *Los Secretos Mejor Guardados* (*The Best-Kept Secrets*), we feel like we’re lifting the veil on a hidden gem, revealing to the world corners, stories, and landscapes that until now had remained discreet, almost in whispers.
Our series, broadcast on Guatevisión, now has a global digital platform, “Gan Jing World,” which will allow us to reach thousands and millions of homes in 10 different languages anywhere on the planet.
The first international series in 10 languages was the one we dedicated to Morocco, but we’re already being asked for series produced in Guatemala, like the one about the Mesoamerican reefs and the Caimán Crown Reef, which will soon air on Guatevisión to reveal that it contains more than 1,000 estimated marine species, including tropical fish, hard and soft corals, and even sea turtles, making this reef an oasis of hope for Guatemala.
And its border location makes it a vital point of connectivity between Belize and Guatemala within the Mesoamerican Reef System. What better secret than this?
The most moving part is seeing how the people from our towns get emotional when they see themselves on television for the first time.
And it’s not about gossip or bottomless mysteries, but real secrets: paradisiacal places that were always there, just around the corner, waiting to be rediscovered. We’ve filmed in villages and towns that many haven’t even heard of, but that shine with authenticity.
The most moving part is seeing how the people from our towns get emotional when they see themselves on television for the first time; how they gather their families, sit together in front of the TV every weekend, and celebrate what was always theirs but had never been told or shared.
The Treasure Coast Also Has a Story to Tell…
And also, in the United States, we’re about to film *Los Secretos Mejor Guardados* of the Treasure Coast, a region named after real shipwrecks that occurred in 1715 and 1733, when hurricanes sank Spanish galleons loaded with gold and silver. Many of these treasures were discovered centuries later by modern treasure hunters like Mel Fisher, whose discovery of the galleon *Nuestra Señora de Atocha* in 1985 took place outside the Treasure Coast, in the Florida Keys.
The “Treasure Coast,” which includes Indian River, St. Lucie, and Martin counties, doesn’t just hide riches beneath the sea. It also holds natural treasures like Bathtub Beach and Sea Turtle Beach, with their calm Caribbean waters, or Jonathan Dickinson State Park, with its abundance of mangroves and native wildlife. At Blowing Rocks Preserve, waves crash against coquina cliffs, offering one of the country’s most astonishing natural spectacles. And standing as a sentinel of memories is the House of Refuge, an old maritime rescue station and witness to hundreds of survival stories.
In Guatemala, our Castillo de San Felipe de Lara also keeps its own secrets, with its cannons that once defended the Dulce River from pirate attacks. In both countries, the footprints of the past remain alive, waiting to be told.
Now more than ever, as a journalist and storyteller, I feel a commitment to build bridges between cultures, to recover what seemed forgotten, and to share it with the world. *Los Secretos Mejor Guardados* is not just a TV show: it’s a legacy that speaks to the viewer’s heart, awakening pride, curiosity, and the desire to learn more.
Because in the end, the true treasures aren’t just made of gold or lost. They’re right there, shining in the stories that still wait to be told.
