Who set off on an adventure to find

El Dorado, the fabled city of gold?

CORRECT

Sir Walter Raleigh

HH

Sir Walter Raleigh, a favourite courtier of Queen Elizabeth I, with a passion for

adventure and travel that led him to some of the most remote corners of the world.

He wasn't the first person to fall under the spell of El Dorado in the 1580s, the

Spanish had already made several attempts to find it. But it is Raleigh who ignites

the story.
