“This new National Geographic documentary investigates the history and the mystery behind the mythological lost cities surrounding the Amazon River”

Over the centuries, explorers traded tales of a lost civilisation amid the dense Amazonian rainforest.
Scientists dismissed the legends as exaggerations, believing that the rainforest could not sustain such a huge population... until now.

A new generation of explorers, armed with 21st-century technology, has uncovered remarkable evidence that could reinvent our understanding of the Amazon and the indigenous peoples who lived there.

Using CGI and dramatic re-creations, we re-imagine the banks of the Amazon 500 years ago, teeming with inhabitants, living in the Secret Cities of the Amazon.

Narrated by Peter Coyote
Produced by Edge West for National Geographic Television (2008)
