Answer:
Here is a rewritten summary of how Miguel ends up on the boat with Tulio and Chel.
Miguel and Tulio are two con men who cheat in a dice game and win a map that shows the way to El Dorado, the legendary city of gold.
They are caught cheating and run away from the angry mob. They hide in some barrels that are taken to a ship that is sailing to the New World.
The ship is owned by Hernán Cortés, a Spanish conquistador who wants to conquer and enslave the native people. He finds out that Miguel and Tulio are hiding on his ship and orders them to be whipped and locked up.
Miguel and Tulio escape from their prison with the help of a horse named Altivo, who likes apples. They take a small boat and leave the ship, taking the map with them.
They arrive at the coast of South America, where they follow the map’s directions to a waterfall that opens the entrance to El Dorado. There, they meet Chel, a native woman who is escaping from some guards.
The guards think that Miguel and Tulio are gods, because they look like the ones on a statue. They take them and Chel to El Dorado, where they are greeted by the chief and the priest.
Miguel and Tulio pretend to be gods and enjoy the wealth and luxury of the city, while Chel helps them for a part of the gold. They plan to leave with a boat full of gold before anyone finds out their true identity.
