For the very first time, a film-crew follows the difficult gold-route of the first German conquistadors in the New World. This expedition, lead by Ambrosius Alfinger from Talfingen in the proximity of Ulm almost 500 years ago in search of the fabled gold-realms, leads right through guerilla-occupied areas of Colombia. The expedition follows the gold-route of the conquistadors and leads straight to the dig at the site of the very first city of the conquistadors „Panama La Vieja“ and to a diving trip for gold-laden galleons in the Caribbean Sea.
