Paititi 2011

For hundreds of years, explorers have searched high and low for the Incan city of Paititi – otherwise known as The Lost City of Gold, and some have even lost their lives in the pursuit. Rumoured to contain the gold hidden from the Spanish at the time of the conquest, to date – nobody has ever located this fabled city.

The rough location of the city remains uncertain, with theories putting Paititi in locations throughout the Andes; spanning countries as vast as Peru, Bolivia and Brazil. Though one thing has remained constant throughout all the expeditions – faith! A faith in the legends of the natives who claim to know hidden settlements. A faith that modern scanning technology may yet reveal what has been missed to date. A faith that the jungle has one more treasure yet to yield and that one day someone will find ancient Paititi!

It is on that note that in August 2011, four intrepid adventures journeyed into the depths of the jungles of Peru in search of the lost city. Self funded, limited in resources and lacking any extensive jungle training; we are simply a group of ordinary young people inspired by an alluring legend and united by a passion for adventure.
