A NEW EXPEDITION IN SEARCH OF PAITITI

By Lic. Pablo Cingolani

Director of the Expedition Madidi XXI

PRESS OFFICIAL NOTICE

La Paz, 14 of May of 2001

Searching the Inca ruins of San Jose de Paititi

The director of the Bolivian expeditions Mr. Pablo Cigolani has announced that is seriously thinking of another expedition within the Madidi National Park and to the same territory used by Colonel Percy Harrison Fawcett following his routing to the roof of the world in 1911 with the objective to look for and localize the Inca ruins of San Jose de Paititi near Mojos.

The Paitití hill is a name that brings into our memory the homonymous legend of the South American El-Dorado, a forest already explored and recognized by the cameraman and German explorer Hans Erlt in 1954-1955. Erlt who died two years ago in Santa Cruz made investigations and excavations that leaded to the discovery of a true archaeological treasure that had been devoured by the forest. With Pedro Aramayo, technical director of the Expedition Madidi XXI, we decided our team to participate in this story under certain conditions that will be the subject of the next Tuesday’s conversation. If the negotiations arrive at good terms, then we will be having two expeditions instead of one within the 2001, and that makes us more proud. We assure all of you that we will continue our information newsletter according to the progress of these expeditions and stories.
