"During the 17th century, Spanish colonisers revived a 1528 report from Francisco César of Traplanda, the Enchanted City of the Cesars, claiming to have discovered the lost city of gold palaces and precious jewels. Reporting it as south of latitude 45 somewhere between the Andes and Chiloé it fuelled a legend as old as the human spirit; great wealth in distant lands, inspiring the hopes of a generation of explorers in pursuit of their dreams.

Over a decade ago I found myself on the west coast of Ireland, wide eyed and without any of the responsibilities that life heaps upon us with age. No country has ever instilled such a broad sense of excitement and wonder, the possibilities were endless.

After years of manifesting I made the pilgrimage south filled with similar heady notions of Chile’s South Pacific."
