Summary The Great Condor flies over the sea towards the land of the Mayas. Suddenly the bird loses height. It flies down to the ground and into an immense grotto. The nose of the bird goes down to pierce an opening in the rocks, revealing a staircase that our friends proceed to climb. They come out of the grotto to find a ruined town. Esteban wonders who on earth could have built these wonderful monuments. Pichu signals that he has found something. Our friends realize it is a statue of a winged serpent, bearing an inscription which resembles the writings of the Mu people. Tao shows that the winged serpent must have been a god to the former inhabitants of the town. Carefully studying the inscriptions of the wall, Tao tells his friends, "a long time ago, in the land of the Mayas, lived a very intelligent man who knew the sky and the earth. They called him the Winged Serpent and apparently," says Tao, "he made a sort of giant oven". At these words, Mendoza leaps up and tells them that it must have been an oven for melting gold. But Tao can decipher no more. All he can say is that everything is inside the City of Gold. At this moment we hear cries of fear from Pedro and Sancho: while trying to tear a jade mask from the wall where it is encrusted, they have set off a mechanism. The walls begin to crumble, the inscriptions disappear, the ways out are closed. Fortunately Pichu finds a way out and our friends find themselves in the temple by which they entered. From what Tao could understand of the inscriptions, the Mayas had all departed for the Cities of Gold. But where are the mysterious Cities?
