El Dorado

Overview

The legend of El Dorado began when Spanish conquistadors set off in search of the place where all their dreams of immeasurable wealth would come true, hidden deep in the jungles of South America. To this day, no one has found it. Yet, adventurers and scientists continue searching for the origins of the legend. And in order to solve the mystery, they follow up on historical sources and use state-of-the-art technology to try to uncover new unexplored paths. French explorer Thierry Jamin thinks the city is in present-day Peru, while archaeologist José Pérez-Gómez searches in Venezuela and Juan Pablo Quintero has his eyes set on Colombia. But regardless of where the search leads, the quest for El Dorado's gold is a journey through the uncharted and most inaccessible regions of the world.
