Pepero, a 10 year-old boy of a small Andean town, decides to go after his father's steps, who had been missing for some years after he went in search of the mythical city of El Dorado to help the people of the town who had fallen in poverty. Pepero later has a sighting of a golden condor and then finds two weary travelers: an elder named Titicaca, and an amnesiac girl named Kana. Both of them seem to have clues to find the way to El Dorado. Even though his mother doesn't approve, Pepero, Kana and Titicaca begin a long and perilous voyage towards the legendary City of Gold.

As they reach an old hanging bridge over a cannon, Pepero and Azteco begin to argue about how to lead the expedition to El Dorado. As a result, Azteco abandons the group. Chuchu follows him telling the others he'll try to convince Azteco to return with them. As they wait over the bridge, another traveler warns them that Azteco and Chuchu are in imminent danger because they decided to travel through the river on a small wooden raft and there are strong river rapids ahead. Kana and Pepero must go to the rescue after them.

As Pepero and his friends begin their journey through the Western Mountains, Kana and Chuchu get separated from the group after a flash flood surprises them. They spend the night inside a cave under a mountain that is shaped like a wolf. In the morning they are awakened by a horrible howl. A priest and a group of people reach to the outside of the cave and throw inside it gold offerings. The priest then discovers Kana and Chuchu inside the cave. He orders to capture them and then are sent to the nearby town were they will be punished for desecrating the sacred mountain. Pepero (with the help of Jupiter) and the rest start looking for them, getting in time to save them when they are about to be hit with a whip by the priest. Pepero then forces the priest to reveal to everyone the secret behind the howling of the mountain.

The group lead by Pepero arrive to a fertile valley between the Andes (possibly Arequipa) where they find a group of horse herders who are having trouble trying to capture a white stallion and his mare. The owner of the land offers them food and shelter in exchange for capturing the horse. With an ingenious tactic, Pepero finally jumps onto the horse's back, tames him and delivers him to the herders. As the group leaves, the landowner tries to ride the white horse. But it just goes wild and runs towards the trail that Pepero and his friends had followed. When the group get near a river, they spot the white horse's mare being attacked by an alligator. Pepero tries to help her and gets into the river on a fragile log raft. He manages to free the mare from the jaws of the alligator, but then the reptile turns on Pepero. The white horse gets in time to rescue Pepero and kills the alligator. Even though Pepero's effort, the mare dies because of her wounds. After being buried, the white horse becomes friends with Pepero, who names him Jupiter. Jupiter will follow them all the rest of the way to El Dorado and even beyond, but keeping his distance and appearing every time he is needed or called.

After a rough journey through a dry land and a sandstorm, the group of explorers reach a group of abandoned ruins (most likely Tiwanaku). The next day they find a huge lake (possibly Lake Titicaca, the highest lake in the world). Since it is too wide to be surrounded by foot, they take a couple of traditional boats to cross it. But new and menacing dangers await for them up there.

The group of explorers lead by Pepero have an encounter with an old 'quena' (traditional Andean flute) player. He identifies Kana's melody as the one played by people who had reached El Dorado and returned. The old man tells them that he once tried to search for El Dorado himself, so he could be worthy enough to marry the woman he loved. During his exploration, he fell from a high cliff leaving him handicapped from one of his legs. Since then he traveled through the land playing his 'quena' while his chinchilla pet danced to the sound of it to make a living. He also liked to play his 'quena' in front of the tomb of the beloved woman he could never marry. He later saves the town from an impending danger caused by a strong tornado.
