A proposito di questo titolo

In this pilot episode, Lucas and Luna begin at the southern edge of the Inca Empire in the early 16th century, where a smallpox pandemic has already devastated native populations. They follow the brutal entrada of Spanish conquistador Pedro de Valdivia in 1541, who founded Santiago on Mapuche land. But the story takes a turn when the fierce resistance of the Mapuche, led by the toqui Lautaro, pushes the Spanish back and nearly destroys the fledgling colony. The episode explores the encomienda system that enslaved indigenous people, the myth of El Dorado that drove conquistadors, and the long Arauco War that would define Chile for centuries. Lucas also previews the colonial era, the rise of a distinct Chilean identity, and the eventual road to independence—setting the stage for future episodes on the nitrate boom, the Pinochet dictatorship, and the struggle for democracy.
