The city of emperors, also called The magical city of Patagonia, The Wandering City, or Trapalanda. This lost city should be located somewhere in the southern tip of South America, allegedly in the valley of the Cordillera / Andes in Patagonia between Chile and Argentina.

Mystic Patagonia area

The city of the Emperors, as well as Atlantis, Lemuria and others, were sought by many explorers and adventurers. Several researchers set out to find this lost city, even though it existed only in legends. News of its existence has spread for more than two hundred years, although no tangible evidence has ever been found.

The Jesuit City was also unsuccessfully visited by the Jesuit Father José García Alsue in 1766. I have studied the area that is now part of it Queulat National Park in the Aysén region of Chile.

Legends mention that the city is full of incredible wealth, especially gold and silver. Different versions indicate different periods and versions of the foundation. According to some, the city was founded by Spaniards (shipwrecked or expelled), or by Inca displaced, or founded together.

Its location is also a mystery. At least one of many descriptions places the mysterious city somewhere in And, between two mountains, one of gold and the other one of diamonds. According to the legend, the city remains surrounded by an impenetrable fog that hides it from the sight of pilgrims, explorers, and anyone who seeks to find it. It remains hidden until the end of the ages, when it turns out to unbelievers and skeptics.

The city's four-story version of the city

One version of the city's origins is based on four independent stories. The first relates to the expedition of Captain Francis César in 1528 during the expedition of Sebastian Gabot, seeking the legendary Sierra de la Plata. Gaboto left the old continent in 1526 with an original mission to reach Molucca by crossing the Strait of Magellan. However, during the stopover in Pernambuco (Brazil), the expedition heard the first version of the story of a wealthy place in the South American inland, where it was possible to get a large mouth in the south. Gold and incalculable wealth have brainwashed explorers and adventurers.

In Santa Catarina, Gaboto reunited with Melchor Ramírez and Enrique Montes from the wrecked expedition of Juan Díaz de Solís to Río de la Plata in 1516. These rumors confirmed and showed Gabot the amount of precious metals. Ramírez and Montes spoke of another shipwrecked Solis expedition by Alejo García, which allegedly ventured deeper into the continent to the lands of the White King (Inca Empire). The Sierra de la Plata (Cerro Rico de Potosí) was to be located there. According to this story, Garcia found great wealth in the area of ​​the current Bolivian plateau, although he was eventually killed on the way back to the Atlantic coast by the Payaguas Indians.

All these stories (and precious metals) persuaded Gabot to abandon the original expedition to the wealth of South America's Sierra de la Plata. It is worth mentioning that the Spaniards did not realize the existence of the Inca empire discovered by Francisco Pizarro in 1528.

Discovering unseen

After Gabot's entry into the Río de la Plata, the expedition came into contact with a man named Francisco del Puerto. Francesco was the only survivor of the Solis garrison to reach the mainland in 1516. Del Puerto, who first contacted the Indians, confirmed the reputation of the Sierra de la Plata and joined the Spanish expedition as a guide and interpreter. Upstream of the Paraná River, at the confluence with the Carcaraña River, Gaboto decided to build the fortress of Sancti Spiritu (1527). It became the first European settlement in the Rio de la Plata basin to serve as a base for the conquest of the region.

Sebastian Gabot's expedition to the Sierra de la Plata encountered the first obstacles when the force of the current at the raised level of the Paraguay River prevented the expedition from continuing its journey. It was decided to send an advance under the command of Miguel de Rifos. It was attacked by Indians in the mountains by the Pilcomayo River.

In the face of unresolved obstacles, Gaboto decided to return to Sancti Spiritus to reorganize his forces. While preparing to return to the north of the Paraná River, Captain Francisco César received the permission to carry out his own exploration. With several men he traveled from Sancti Spiritus to the west, and the legend of the Emperor's City began. Shortly thereafter, the local natives destroyed the Spanish fort and forced Gabor to accept his defeat and return to Spain. In addition to learning about the many legends of immense wealth in the southern countries, they have served as expeditions to strengthen the legend of the Sierra de la Plata in Europe. They also extended the rumor that somewhere nearby there was a lost city full of wealth known as The City of Emperors.

The César story has extended Ruy Díaz de Guzmán to his own fantastic stories. The myth of the City of Emperors became an inspiration for literary works.

When different stories are combined

Over the years, these different versions have merged into one amazing story. The myth of an enormously rich city expanded, in which its inhabitants, called the Emperors and the natives who accompanied their ancestors, jointly founded this mythical city in the unknown. The merging of various mythical stories eventually resulted in the legend of a mythical city located in an unknown area hidden in the Patagonian Kordiller Valley (Patagonian Andes) between Chile and Argentina.

And so the legend of the mythical city of the Emperors became part of the mythology of South America and gave rise to other cities with innumerable riches such as "El Dorado" and "Paititi".
