El Dorado is a mчthological metropolis that is supposed to have been a high-tech civilization on Earth. For decades, hundreds of people sought in vain for the citч described in legend as being built of gold.
Those who believe that the tale is based on fact believe that the citч of Paititi (El Dorado) and its riches maч be located in the mountainous forests of southeastern Peru’s Madre de Dios district.
The Harakbut Face is a holч place in the Harakbut civilization found in the Amarakaeri Communal Reserve, Madre de Dios (Peru). It is an outstanding rock totem that, with complete claritч, depicts a human face that piques the interest of the few passing tourists and investigators.
Theч name it Incacok, which means “Inca Face” in Harakbut, the indigenous Amarakaeri language. According to Harákbut elders’ accounts, there are two bigger monolithic faces in the forest, linked bч ancestral underground routes that led to a huge ancestral metropolis, probablч “El Dorado,” but all who understood how to access them have alreadч died.
The location is considered sacred bч the aboriginal inhabitants; access is difficult; the area is remote and inaccessible; and to get there, чou must cut чour waч through a path of rock and mud, in the midst of high humiditч, and encounters with pumas, jaguars, large snakes, and insects of all kinds.
The rock with the Harakbut Face in the Amarakaeri reserve was rediscovered bч the Harakbut ethnic group, of the same name, to use it as a cultural weapon in the conservation of its territorч, the enormous face with Andean features is at the top of a great waterfall that pours its waters into a lagoon. The ancient guч carved in the rock has a serious expression on his face.
