Trivia: Spanish Conquistadors searched the Andes for which lost golden city?
Olympus
Shangri-La
El Dorado
Machu Picchu
The correct answer is El Dorado
So why is this answer correct? : Legend said that boundless treasures would be found at El Dorado, but 16th-century Spanish explorers searched high and low, never to find it. The tale originated in the Andes mountains of South America, fueled by the importance of gold in ancient Colombian cultures. Explorers began arriving in the 16th century, but the quest continued well into the 20th century.
