Chapter 2: They Found Food..And It Nearly Killed Them| Francisco De Orellana

Описание: He went for food. He never came back.
What followed was betrayal, starvation… and a reckoning in the jungle.

In the heart of the Amazon rainforest, 1541, Francisco de Orellana and Gonzalo Pizarro led one of the most harrowing expeditions in Spanish history. What began as a search for El Dorado and the fabled Land of Cinnamon quickly turned into a brutal fight for survival.

Starving, splintered, and surrounded by jungle, the conquistadors were forced to rely on native knowledge to survive — but trust was breaking. As Orellana drifted downriver in search of food, Pizarro saw betrayal. What followed was a deadly struggle marked by poisoned roots, mutiny, and men devouring raw yuca with their bare hands.

This cinematic retelling blends 16th-century oil painting visuals with true historical events to reveal a forgotten chapter of conquest, desperation, and vengeance deep in the Amazon.
