In the late 1550s a Basque adventurer named Lope de Aguirre set out in search of El Dorado. He joined an expedition led by Pedro de Ursua & embarked upon a great journey that would take them across the whole width of South America from the Pacific to the Atlantic. In 1987 Stephen Minta set out on the trial of this expedition. Drawing on the writings of the chroniclers of that time, on eye-witness accounts & on more modern literary allusions, he reconstructs the adventure, charting its tempestuous progress along the Amazon where death & destruction lay in its wake. He relives the atmosphere within the ranks as, in the face of increasingly hostile terrain, illness & inadequate supplies, hopes & aspirations give way to treachery & dissent. The author's own journey takes him from Cuzco in Peru, a city where you can feel the pain of oblivion, across the Andes, through the heart of Amazonia until Peru vanishes into Brazil, then to Margarita Isl&, off the mainland of Venezuela. In each town & village he evokes a strong sense of history which, combined with anecdotes & unexpected encounters, makes this a remarkable story in itself. Minta moves between 16th-century & contemporary South America; he draws parallels as he goes & enriches our understanding of this land & its people, past & present. ...

- MAP TITLES: the grids shown on our website serve both the civilian & the military 1:50, 000 topographic series. Although the areas covered by maps in both series are identical (apart from some border or coastal sheets), occasionally map titles differ – only one title is shown on the grid, usually the military one. In Galicia, the Basque country & in the Catalan speaking areas the tendency now is to use local place names rather than the often better known Castilian ones. Where possible, both versions are included in our titles. Map titles listed on our website are based on information received by us at the time of publication, but sometimes maps arrive showing a completely different title! As long as the map number is as ordered, the correct map has been supplied.
