Paddington in Peru plot analysis
A letter from the home for retired bears in Peru tells Paddington that Aunt Lucy really misses him and is acting strangely. They are worried; Paddington and the Brown family decide to go to Peru to see her.
When they get there, the Reverend Mother tells them that Aunt Lucy has disappeared into the jungle, leaving only her glasses and bracelet behind. Paddington finds a map in her cabin that leads to a place called Rumi Rock. This is the first clue they need to start their journey. The Reverend Mother and Mrs. Bird stay behind while the rest of the Brown family goes on their adventure.
They hire Hunter Cabot and his daughter Gina, a treasure hunter, to take them down the river. Hunter is crazy about finding gold, so he is interested in Paddington's bracelet because he thinks it has something to do with the mythical lost city of El Dorado. As he is too greedy, he throws Gina off the boat and the group goes down with it.
Paddington gets to Rumi Rock without his family and finds Hunter waiting there. Paddington listens for strange calls in the hopes that they will lead him to Aunt Lucy. The Browns and Gina work together to find him and save him.
In a final showdown at an old Incan fort, they find out the truth: the Reverend Mother, Clarissa Cabot, planned Aunt Lucy's disappearance to get Paddington to go to Peru. The adventure takes them to El Dorado, which turns out to be a secret bear home. Aunt Lucy is found, and Paddington and his family decide to go back to London.
