Dora and the Lost City of Gold

Deep in the Peruvian jungle, young Dora embarks on daily adventures with her loyal monkey companion Boots and her cousin Diego. Together, they explore the lush surroundings while consistently thwarting the mischievous plans of Swiper, a sly fox intent on stealing Dora's map.

At the age of six, Dora experiences a significant shift when her cousin Diego moves to Los Angeles with his family. This departure shakes Dora's world, leaving her to pursue her adventures alone in the jungle.

Years later, Dora's parents, Cole and Elena, successfully decipher the location of the fabled Inca city of Parapata after uncovering an artifact that Dora had found in a hidden cave. This discovery reignites their passionate quest for exploration.

Prior to their perilous journey to Parapata, Dora's parents decide it’s safest for her to live with Diego’s family in Los Angeles. Concerned for Dora's well-being, they believe she is not yet prepared to face the dangers that accompany their exploration.

In Los Angeles, under the care of Diego's relatives, Dora tries to fit in at school but struggles with her new environment. She meets students like Sammy and Randy, who show her both friendship and the challenges of navigating social dynamics in a city setting.

Dora maintains contact with her parents via a satellite phone, but eventually faces an eerie silence when she can no longer reach them. As she grapples with isolation in her new life, she begins to feel increasingly alienated from Diego and their childhood bond.

Things escalate at a school dance when Dora joyfully dances to a Conga song, which leads to her being bullied by classmates. This incident acts as the tipping point, prompting Diego to criticize her for not conforming to their peers, driving a wedge between them.

During a field trip to a museum, Dora and her friends unexpectedly fall into a trap set by mercenaries led by Powell. The group is captured and shipped back to Peru, where they meet Alejandro, who claims to assist them in their plight.

Alejandro delivers distressing news about the disappearance of Dora’s parents, revealing that mercenaries intend to loot treasures from Parapata based on Dora's parents’ research. This revelation ignites Dora’s determination to rescue her family.

Driven by her goal to find her parents, Dora leads Alejandro and her reluctant friends into the Peruvian jungle. They face numerous challenges, including natural obstacles and Inca puzzles, that test their courage and resolve.

While navigating through the jungle, the group meets a mysterious old woman who warns them about a curse tied to the search for Parapata. Despite this ominous warning, she helps guide them on their journey for a while.

After braving various challenges, Dora discovers where her parents are located, only to be betrayed by Alejandro, who reveals he is working with the mercenaries. This betrayal tests the group's loyalty and fortitude severely.

In the heart of Parapata, the group encounters the Inca guardians led by their queen. Using her knowledge of Quechua, Dora communicates their good intentions, enabling them to avoid conflict and gain temporary safe passage.

With the Inca's help, Dora manages to locate her parents and they secure a safe escape from the clutches of the mercenaries. The ordeal solidifies her family's bond as they consider future explorations together.

Upon returning to the familiar jungle, Dora reflects on her experiences and chooses to return to school in Los Angeles while celebrating her reunion with friends. The adventure ends with uncertainty for Alejandro and the mercenaries who remain in Parapata.
