The Amazons

The condor flies over a jungle, following a broad river. A huge black storm cloud gathers, but Esteban, piloting the condor, fails to evade it in time. The cloud blocking the sun, the condor loses power and goes into a dive, crash landing next to the river. There are too many trees blocking the sun for it to take off again. A giant snake emerges from the river. Mendoza delays it with a tree branch in the face, while the party arm themselves with sticks and head into the jungle. While running from a jaguar, they dive into a tunnel amongst the roots of a giant tree, and find themselves in a flower-filled paradise. They hear distant drums, and have warning arrows fired at them by a pair of Amazon women, who violently resist the amorous advances of Sancho and Pedro. More women arrive, breaking up the fight, and take the party to see their Queen. Taken to the women's city, they are confronted by a bizarrely-masked priestess, Omoro, who plans to sacrifice them to appease their rain god. Mendoza tells them that Esteban can call out the sun. The priestess refuses to listen, but the Queen is curious and gives Esteban a chance to prove the claim. Wind and lightning springs forth, but as the priestess prepares to kill him, the rain stops and the sun emerges. The impressed Queen welcomes them as guests

The producers claimed that the series was loosely based on the books "The King's Fifth" (1966) and "City of Seven Serpents," both by Scott O'Dell; no book with the latter title exists in the Library of Congress.

The Japanese version of the series ended each episode with a mini-documentary explaining the historical events and people which inspired the fictional characters. These documentaries were deleted from release in many foreign-language markets, including the United Kingdom.

The series was made primarily for the French market, but was also popular with the Japanese audience.

Its re-release on French DVD spurred rumors that producer Jean Chalopin was negotiating with Japan for a remake or sequel.
