In a hidden jungle in Peru, a family lives an adventurous and exciting life.
Dora Marquez is a 6-year-old girl who lives with her parents Cole and Elena.
The little girl spends her days in the jungle with her beloved
monkey named Boots and her cousin Diego. Dora also has imaginary friends, Backpack and
Map. There is no story without a villain. In this case, it is the thieving fox, Swiper.
Over dinner one day, Cole tells about the legendary city of Parapata.
In that magical place lies the gold and treasures of the Incas.
Legend has it that the treasures are priceless, surpassing all the jewels in the world.
Nevertheless, the woman warns Dora and Diego that natural explorers do not aim for treasure.
True explorers are more interested in exploring and finding new things.
The next day, Diego's parents arrived in the jungle to take him back to Los Angeles.
Diego leaves, but now Dora is increasingly curious to discover the hidden golden city of the Incas,
Parapata. Ten years later, Dora,
now a teenager, continues to venture into the jungle with Boots.
She dreams of becoming an explorer, just like her parents.
One day, while wandering through the jungle, Dora and Boots found a very dark cave.
They began to explore it only with a flashlight, and Dora managed to find a golden statue.
She thought it was one of the treasures from the legend of Parapata.
Dora tried to jump over the abyss to reach the statue's site.
Unfortunately, she fell into the abyss. At that point, she asked Boots for help. She asked
him to inform her parents where the cave was. Sometime later, Cole and Elena managed to pull
Dora out of the abyss and bring the golden statue home.
After examining it thoroughly, they find a hidden map of the city of Parapata.
After ten years of exploration, Dora's parents could decipher the location of Parapata.
Now a map to follow to get there. In fact, they did all this without
Dora's knowledge because they did not want to endanger her.
So, Cole and Elena go exploring to find the city of Parapata by themselves.
In fact, they decide to send Dora, now 16 years old,
to attend high school in Los Angeles with Diego. All the while,
they travel to the lost city as planned. Her parents do this to protect Dora. They
also do this so that she can learn about today's society and meet new friends.
Dora is quite sad about not being able to have an adventure with her parents. Still,
she accepts her parents' decision to stay with Diego's family in Los Angeles and study there.
Dora arrives in Los Angeles and is greeted by Diego and his family at the airport.
After a long time, she finally sees her beloved cousin again.
On the first day of school, Dora does not act like any teenager.
She is extremely friendly and attracts the attention of students
and school authorities. In addition, she carries dangerous items in her backpack.
In the jungle, she always carried tools to defend herself in case of danger. Now, being in the city,
she has to change her habit. At school, Dora gets acquainted with the
top student, Sammy, and one of the school geeks, Randy, who seems to have a crush on her.
Although it is her first time attending a school, Dora is brilliant,
efficiently answering quizzes. In the jungle, she read many
of her parents' books. Because of her intelligence,
Sammy sees her as a rival. In addition, now everyone knows that Dora is Diego's cousin,
and he feels embarrassed about it. As time passes, Dora enjoys her new life
at school, continuing to be cheerful, inevitably of what others think.
She also keeps in touch with her parents, who are on a scouting mission.
They use a satellite phone. Dora, a very clever girl, finds her
parents' location points to use as a reference to make her own version of the Parapata city map.
One day, Dora and her classmates go on a field trip to a museum.
Dora is invited by some museum officials to enter a hidden archive room.
It turns out that the museum officials are nothing more than undercover mercenaries.
So, they trap Dora and her friends. The leader of the mercenaries is Powell,
and he plans to find the city of Parapata using Dora's map.
They load Dora and her friends into a wooden crate and fly them into the jungles of Peru.
Upon arriving in Peru, a man named Alejandro, who claims to be a friend of Dora's parents,
helps Dora and her friends escape from the mercenaries.
Powell learns of the situation and orders his men to pursue them.
In addition, Swiper joins them, and he is called to steal the map
of the city of Parapata. Swiper is a skilled thief
and efficiently manages to steal the map in Dora's bag and deliver it to Powell.
Now without a map, Dora chooses to go to safety with her friends.
Sometime later, Alejandro reveals that Dora's parents had disappeared.
Mercenaries were searching for them in hopes of finding the city and stealing the treasure.
Now Dora's plan changes; she must find and rescue her parents.
After going deep into the jungle, the girl found the sign her parents wrote on the
tree trunk to find the way back. Having a way to find her parents,
Dora's morale improved, and she hurried to follow the signs in hopes of rescuing them.
After exploring the jungle for a long time, the friends finally
arrived at a devastated campsite. From the tools, she knew immediately
that it was her parents' camp. But there was no one there except
Boots, hiding in a tree. They were about to move away,
but arrows attacked suddenly. They save themselves by taking cover
in a giant tree trunk. Soon afterward, it topples over, and they all fall into a quicksand trap.
Dora, who has experience in the jungle, asks all her friends to remain calm so as not to drown.
They manage to escape from the quicksand trap. But Alejandro, in a panic, eventually sinks.
Fortunately, they manage to rescue him in time and continue their journey.
Soon after, they met a friendly elderly woman who invited them to stay at her cottage.
The elderly woman learns of their plan to go to the city of Parapata.
Thus, she told them that anyone who approached it would be cursed by the gods.
Therefore, the old woman offered to take them back home.
However, Dora wants to find her parents and continues the journey.
Alejandro and Diego decide to accompany her. On the other hand, Randy and Sammy
decide to return home. Arriving at the river bank
to return home, Sammy and Randy discover a surprising fact about the old woman.
They, therefore, decide to follow Dora and tell her that the old woman has trapped them.
As they went on with their journey, they encountered poisonous plants.
The three were careful not to touch them, or it would be deadly.
When they reached almost the end, Alejandro accidentally touched one of the plants,
which gave off hallucinatory spores.
Thus, they hallucinated them as if they had turned into animated characters.
Dora and her friends teamed up to jump over the ravine and were
finally rescued by Sammy and Randy. They reunited again and decided to rest
and continue their journey in the morning. At this point in the trip,
Sammy gets along with Dora during the journey and becomes good friends with her.
Dora and Diego, who had been quarreling, have finally reconciled
and become friends as before. The next day, Dora and her friends
arrived at the ruins of a temple. Suddenly, the ground they were standing
on shook and cracked, causing them to fall into an underground cave.
The cave turned out to be the site of an ancient underground temple. Randy confidently pulled one
of the levers there because the place was similar to the setting of online games.
Randy opened a door that caused a torrent of water to flow, instantly drowning them.
As a result, he decided to open the water channel to remedy the situation.
After the water channel was opened, Dora and the others were sucked into the waterways.
The current led to a river. Dora finally met her parents,
who rescued her from the river. Cole and Elena looked very happy
and surprised because they had not expected to meet Dora in the jungle.
Dora was overjoyed because she could finally hug her parents again.
Then she introduced her friends from Los Angeles to them.
Dora also told them about Alejandro, but Cole and Elena did not know him.
Alejandro then reveals that he is actually the leader of the mercenaries.
He kidnapped Dora and her friends from school.
He intended to use Dora to find Cole and Elena.
Thus, the mercenaries could quickly find their location to ambush Dora and the others.
Alejandro takes Dora and her friends hostage and forces Cole and Elena to show the way
to the city of Parapata. On the way to the lost city,
Dora's friend Boots appears and helps them escape from the mercenaries.
Unfortunately, Dora's parents remain prisoners of Alejandro.
Dora despairs for a moment, but after recovering, she tells Diego and his friends that they must
find a shortcut to the city. To reach the treasure, to offer
it in exchange for her parents' release. Inside the hidden city, Dora and the others
solve the temple puzzles. Thus, they manage to avoid the traps until they finally arrive at the
center of the lost city of Parapata. And inside, they find a vast expanse
of gold and treasure. But it turns out that all this time,
Alejandro has been secretly following them. He is delighted because he has managed
to find the hidden treasure. When Alejandro was about to collect the golds,
he suddenly fell into the trap of fire and lava as punishment for his greed.
