La aventura de la vida, parte 8
In Xibalbá it is easy to lose your head, both figuratively and literally as Sandra has already discovered. She and her companions have made it through several rooms, but there is no end in sight. The purpose of Xibalbá is to remove home and induce fear. What other tricks and traps have the gods of Xibalbá prepared to torment their guests?
