Originally, El Dorado was the name of a Muisca tribal chief who covered himself with gold dust and, as an initiation rite, dived into the lake Guatavita.
It was later associated with the legendary Lost City of Gold, a city ruled supposedly by the Muisca tribal chief. This story inspired Spanish explorers, Francisco Orellana and Gonzalo Pizarro, to set out in search of it in a famous and disastrous expedition towards the Amazon Basin.
Neither El Dorado nor the Lost City of Gold have been proven to have existed.
