Here is the episode guide of MCOG, I have to admit that this was a
show I enjoyed watching when I was younger too.

"39. The End of the City of Gold
Gomez and Gaspard reach the now-exposed city and start gathering gold.
At the Burning Shield, Kalmec installs the power unit beneath the
crystal spire, under Menator's instructions. It functions, but then
overheats and sinks into the ground. Back at the City, Tao's jar glows
once again. The High Priest realises that the Olmecs have activated
the device. He explains that the jar is actually a vital part of the
power unit, without which the power unit will overload and sink into
the earth's core, causing a catastrophe of global proportions. The
High Priest sets out for the Burning Shield in the hope of shutting
down the power unit. As the malfunctioning power unit begins its
descent into the earth, the City is shaken by seismic tremors, and the
Olmec base at the Burning Shield is utterly destroyed. Mendoza, back
at the City of Gold, asks the High Priest's servants why they have not
accompanied their master. They explain that the real High Priest died
three years earlier. At the Burning Shield, the so-called High Priest
prepares to follow the path of the descending power unit. Esteban asks
him once more about the travelling prophet, but the High Priest cannot
tell him where the prophet went. Mendoza, meanwhile, has just
discovered that the so-called High Priest is the travelling prophet,
Esteban's father, but decides that it would be easier for Esteban if
he isn't told. Further tremors shake the earth. Gomez and Gaspard
disappear into the lake as the City of Gold is swallowed by the earth.
The High Priest finds the reactor deep underground. He installs the
jar, shutting the power unit down, averting the catastrophe but
apparently dying in the attempt. Mendoza shows Sancho & Pedro the gold
he grabbed from the City earlier. The children return to the condor,
determined to cross the Pacific in search of the other six Cities of
Gold. They agree to meet Mendoza, Sancho & Pedro someday at the little
tavern in Barcelona where they first met. Then the condor takes off,
and the three children fly into the sunset."
Hopefully this answers your question,
