Lost City of Gold
Paititi – the legendary lost city of Gold.
For hundreds of years explorers have lost their lives in search of it. Rumoured to contain the gold hidden by the Spanish at the time of the conquest; to date, no-one has ever located this fabled city.
The location of the city itself remains uncertain with theories putting Paititi in locations throughout the Andes spanning countries as vast as Peru, Bolivia and Brazil.
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 thus far. A faith that the jungle has one more treasure to yield and that one day someone will find ancient Paititi!
[/spiel]
For those of you who've read all that, cheers. I just wanted to let you know I will be heading into the Amazon in August as part of an expedition to find the lost city of gold. 3 weeks of roughing it in the rainforest, filming a documentary about the experience and trying not to get killed in the process. In case you're wondering why I'm bringing it up, it's because we shall be 'Tweeting' live from the jungle about our experiences.
We hope to build up a following so that when we get back, our footage will look more popular and promising to TV studios. And, to be honest, as the project is fully self-funded I wouldn't mind making my expenses back heh.

Is the Twitter account we'll be updating. If you're interested, or just want to show a little support for some good old-fashioned* exploration, follow us live as we trek through one of the most hazardous terrains on earth.
Thanks guys :-)
P.S. no trolling <3
*old-fashioned, except for the satellite phone, laptop and the camera equipment.

Re: Lost City of Gold
Cool, but the cities of gold were a myth, the incan empire was almost gone by the time they found it, the conquistadors took the loot back to spain, unless the english pirates got it 1st, the incan gold was gold leaf applied to things not solid, but actually finding a lost inca city, thats the dream of many, good luck, keep taking your malaria tablets !

The first of 4 'kennyesque' videos heh. Nearly 1,300 Twitter followers now btw guys, getting quite the interest in the project. We're holding a big fundraiser next week on the 18th before we go, set to be quite the event so looking forward to that.
The closer it gets to the trip, the more convinced I am that I'll not be coming back heh. That's real adventure for you!

Re: Lost City of Gold
sounds awesome, have a great time. I went to the rain forest for a week in Belize this summer, it was really fun! I hope you have a good time! My uncle did an exploration of Peru many years ago (he was actually the videographer) so I've always had an interest in that area after reading the book about their expedition. I will be following your trip with interest.

Re: Lost City of Gold
We're making a documentary about our attempts to find the lost city of gold.
Yale university is currently still arguing with the Peruvian government about the 'rights' to treasures recovered at Macchu Pichu, so I doubt we'd get to keep much. It'd certainly make the documentary a lot more interesting, and there'd be a lot more publicity surrounding the project.
Ultimately though, it's about the journey and the people on the expedition and anything above that is food for content.

tbh; when you advertise about finding GOLD and a lost city of GOLD the journey is merely the shit you go through to get the GOLD
best of luck to your expedition! ill follow you on twitter

Re: Lost City of Gold
Oh dear. Well, it wasn't actually me that edited these videos so I can't take the blame for that one!
That said, I'll be sure to amend this quickly.

Forget the amazon .... If kenny can walk through Govan (a rangers saturated area of glasgow) with a celtic top on then I would call that survival skills.
