About this episode
Pack your bags and grab your passport because this week’s From The Vault takes us south of the border to Mexico!
As football fans around the world turn their attention to the FIFA World Cup, we’re revisiting one of our favourite Squiz The World adventures and exploring the first of this year’s three host nations.
Discover why Mexico City is slowly sinking into the ground, learn about the ancient civilisations that shaped the country long before European explorers arrived, and uncover the surprising story of the world's largest pyramid, hidden beneath what looks like an ordinary hill.
Along the way, we’ll learn a little Spanish, visit the world’s biggest university, explore spectacular underground sinkholes called cenotes, and find out why so many of the foods we love today, including chocolate, tomatoes and vanilla, can trace their roots back to Mexico.
🎧 Suitable for curious kids aged 8 to 108.
