This is a 2010 adventure tv mini series, also combined into full length film, starring Shane West and Luke Goss.
An archaeologist is given a diary of a friend that reveals notes about the mysterious city of gold, El Dorado. He goes off to track down the whereabouts of El Dorado using the diary as source, when he locates it buried in a mountain. There are traps and hidden artifacts waiting to be discovered, however all doesn't end well.
Bring in 80's teenaged girls favourite pin-up Luke Goss, who plays the villain really well and also determined to find the same city. Plenty of nice scenery but terrible storyline, emphasising the evil colonial power destroying a world heritage site. While many believe El Dorado is just a legend, this film keeps it that way by having beautiful (not real) structures bombed.
This was filmed in Lima, Peru. I rate this a dusty 3/10 due to the way it was done, like it was home made. Often compared to Indiana Jones but it isn't, because this feels empty, little adventure and none of the magic. Honestly I can't remember how it ended. A possible watch again if very bored.
