The Adventures of Pepero









The story starts with Pepero, a young boy in a small poor village in the Andes who lives with his mother in their small house
in the village. Pepero's father had left the village earlier in search
of the mythical El Dorado, a city that is said to be built completely
out of gold which no one has ever found. Pepero's father's aim is to put
his family and village out of poverty. However, the father is away for a
very long time and no one heard anything about him since he left. The
story starts with Pepero seeing the reflection of a golden eagle in a
river when he was filling some pots with water. Pepero considers that a
sign that his father is alive and that he should look for him. His mind
is made up when he meets two weary travelers, an old man named Titicaca
and an amnesiac girl named Kayna, who apparently had heard of the
mythical El Dorado. Pepero's mind is made up and he decides to set off
on the quest for El Dorado with Titicaca and Kayna agreeing
to come along with him. On the way, he picks up more friends like
Aztec, a teenager who has to look after his siblings while his mother is
sick and who sometimes resorts to stealing to support his family and agrees
to tag along in promise of the lost treasures, and Chuchu, who is a
small boy performing in a circus and who has to look after his sister.
In one episode, Pepero succeeds in taming a wild white horse and the
horse repays him by coming to Pepero's rescue whenever the latter
whistles. Pepero also wears a unique neckless in the shape of a white
horn which is the same as the one worn by his father. This helps people
identify him as the son of Carlos. This fact is uncovered when Pepero
meets a guy who claims that he is Carlos and who is wearing the same
necklace. At the end of the episode we discover that Carlos actually
saved this man and gave him his necklace.

The golden eagle also makes an appearance once in a while to guide
Pepero in the general direction he has to take in order to reach El
Dorado. Pepero also encounters such sinister characters as a swindler
who convinces people that he alone can prevent the wrath of a mountain
god in return for money from the natives and a girl who tries to kill
them off in a maze among others. At one point
in the story and while trying to traverse a cave to the other side,
Titicaca gets trapped after a cave-in and the rest of the troop have to
travel without him. The gang have to use their heads in order to pass
through a maze and later on to solve another puzzle in order to get the map
to El Dorado. This rough map in addition to another they acquire from a
jealous princess leads them to the gates of El Dorado where Pepero
discovers that his father is being accused of stealing the imperial
jewels. Pepero in the nick of time discovers that his father is being
framed by the head of the police and ends up proving his father's innocence and exposing
the cheating official. The whole gang is later taken to meet the
emperor and his family and there it is that he discovers that Kayna is
actually the princess and that she had lost her memory when a group of
conspirators tried to kill her off. The group is still there and try to
repeat their act again but Pepero finds out and saves her. An engagement
ceremony is held for Pepero and Kayna and the whole gang returns to
their respective homes while Pepero and his father, loaded with cash,
return to their village to spread the wealth among the poor residents.

The show holds a great fascination especially for the young viewers
since it has all the elements that excite such an audience like lost
treasures, clues that have to be solved, maps...etc. It also presents a
wide array of interesting people who the gang meet and present them with
moral and ethical problems that they have to cope with while looking
for their way along the Andes.
