The Road to El Dorado: Percy Fawcett and the Lost World of Z
In 1925, British explorer Percy Fawcett vanished deep in the Amazon rainforest-leaving behind one of history's greatest unsolved mysteries.
Fawcett's life was nothing short of extraordinary. Born into a family of adventurers, he grew up surrounded by tales of uncharted lands and untold treasures. In 1906, he launched his first expedition to South America-and for the next two decades, he would return again and again, driven by a relentless belief: that a lost, ancient city-what he called "Z"-lay hidden in the heart of the Amazon.
This book explores the remarkable life of Percy Fawcett, from his early expeditions to the moment he vanished without a trace. Drawing on historical records, journals, and the enduring legends that followed, it offers a gripping account of exploration, obsession, and one man's quest for the unknown.
Was there really a lost city in the jungle? And what happened to Fawcett on that final expedition? The truth may still lie buried in the Amazon...
