🇧🇷 The wilds of the Brazilian Amazon. British explorer Percy Fawcett vanishes while on an expedition to find the “Lost City of Z”. Inspired by the story of El Dorado, Percy had made many trips to the Amazon, and felt he was close to finding what he called “Z” when he disappeared, along with his son and his son’s best friend. For exactly 100 years, the fate of Percy Fawcett has remained a mystery. Today, we dive into its origins, Percy’s life and whether or not he was close to discovering an ancient civilisation.
