An immersive journey into the Ancient Underworld of the Lower Pecos Canyonlands. Based on a true story.
In 1590, outlaw settler Gaspar Castano de Sosa led an unauthorized expedition north through the harsh canyon country of what is now Val Verde County, Texas.
What he encountered here may have followed him all the way to his death.
I’m Rancho, from Val Verde County, Texas. Etched in my bones and forged in my soul.
