The City of the Caesars (Spanish Ciudad de los Césares), also variously known as City of the Patagonia, Wandering City, Trapalanda or Trapananda, Lin Lin or Elelín, is a mythical city of South America, said to have been founded by survivors from the shipwreck of a Spanish ship, and full of riches such as gold and silver. It is supposedly located somewhere in Patagonia, in some valley of the Andes between Chile and Argentina. Despite being searched for during the colonization of South America, no evidence proves that it ever existed.

Most of the descriptions of the city talks about the city as a prosperous and rich city full of gold, silver and diamonds. Sometimes it is described as an enchanted city that appears in certain moments. At least one description says it located in between two mountains one of gold and another of diamonds.[1] The supposed inhabitants of the city have sometimes been described as people of European descent that shipwrecked in Magellans Strait but also as survivors of the Inca Empire, ghosts and Patagonian giants.
