The Fateful Journey of Herman Cortes

One of the first explorers who attempted to discover the elusive Cuidad Blanca was the renowned Spanish conquistador, Hernan Cortes. In 1526, Cortes set off on a treacherous journey through the dense jungles of present-day Honduras, driven by rumors of the legendary Mayan gold.

Cortes and his men faced numerous hardships, battling through hostile indigenous tribes, treacherous terrain, and deadly diseases. Despite their valiant efforts, the expedition was ultimately unsuccessful in locating Cuidad Blanca. However, Cortes' tales of his encounters in the jungle only fueled the flames of curiosity surrounding the lost city.
