The narrative is framed as Pablos being interrogated by colonial authorities in Cusco, where he recounts his odyssey from the gutters of Spain to the highest palaces of South America. His journey takes him through the Andes and the Amazon as he chases the mythical El Dorado, constantly shifting identities from beggar to nobleman in order to survive.
