Exploring the enduring legacy of El Dorado, Charlotte Rogers examines how the myth of a golden city continues to drive the quest for wealth in the Amazon. The narrative traces the origins of this legend during the colonial era, highlighting the belief that prosperity lies within the tropical forests of South America. This pursuit has evolved, manifesting in contemporary practices like oil drilling and mining, which reflect a persistent hope for riches and happiness rooted in the region's natural resources.
