Summary:

In the early decades of the 16th century, countless Spanish adventurers crossed the Atlantic to South America , in pursuit of the riches of the new world. Their quest was fueled by a strange rumor, of a kingdom of gold, called El Dorado. The search for it, led pioneers deep into the jungles and high into the mountains of the unexplored continent, into contact with worlds that would amaze, and appall them. This program seeks to follow in the footsteps of those early explorers. It's an investigation to discover new evidence about El Dorado. A quest to unearth the truth, behind the legendry kingdom of gold.
