In the remote Llanganati mountains of Ecuador, a horde of gold is rumored to have been hidden by the Inca general Ruminahui when the Spanish conquistadors invaded the region. Following in the footsteps of colorful treasure-hunter characters before him, Lourie documents his search for the lost treasure of the last Inca emperor Atahualpa, who was murdered by Francisco Pizarro in 1532.
