Overview
The Indigenous story that inspired the legend of El Dorado
Before El Dorado became a tale of European conquest and lost treasure, it was an Indigenous story—rooted in ritual, reverence, and gold.
The Golden Man introduces young readers to the true origin of this legendary myth. Set in the lush highlands of what is now Colombia, this beautifully illustrated picture book tells the story of the Muisca people and their sacred ceremony at Lake Guatavita. There, a young leader, dusted in gold from head to toe, dives into the waters as an offering to the gods and a symbol of his new role as ruler.
Through rich storytelling and detailed, historically grounded artwork, this book honors the Muisca civilization—the master goldsmiths whose spiritual traditions gave rise to one of the most enduring legends of the Americas.
Written by Colombian author María Fernanda Paz-Castillo, whose acclaimed books have reached readers across the Spanish-speaking world, and illustrated by award-winning Venezuelan artist Ramón París.
