Orellana's famous expedition in search of the mythical "El Dorado."
They sailed eight months along the Amazon River.
According to the chronicles of that time:
Thousands of Indians died because of smallpox brought by the Spanish.
The Indians covered the Spanish brig with thousands of arrows and darts in response to such ambition.
The Indians did not allow them to obtain any food;
So, they were forced to boil their belts and mix with some herbs, to alleviate their hunger.
They could never find the dreamed " El Dorado."
