Father Rodriguez, who has looked after Esteban since he was a baby, tells him a great secret on his deathbed: somewhere his father may still be alive.

As they are about to set sail, he meets a young Inca girl: Zia.

The two children, Esteban and Zia, find out that they both wear the same strange medallion.

Ep 4Adrift on the Endless Sea
Esteban and his friends barely cross through the terrible Straits of Magellan before their ship, the Esperanza, sinks in a storm. Tossed around on a small raft and attacked by sharks, they're left in the middle of the ocean, with no provisions. But a seagull overhead guides them towards the closest shores, and they finally reach a small island.
Ep 5The Abduction of Zia
After a dangerous journey, Esteban and his friends are washed up on a mysterious island. That night, a shadowy figure comes creeping towards them.

To Esteban's surprise, the mysterious shadow turns out to be a friendly boy of his own age, called Tao.
