Did you know why the TV program is called Dora?  The inspiration for the name Dora Marquez was exploradora, the Spanish feminine word for explorer, and the acclaimed writer Gabriel García Márquez.

Dora teaches the viewer by asking them to help her solve puzzles. Did you know that Dora the Explorer is broadcast in 141 countries? And even has its own spin-off show, Go Diego Go? Diego Marquez is a young action-adventure hero who loves nature and animals. He’s also Dora the Explorer’s cousin. Diego’s mission, with help from young viewers at home and on occasion features Dora, is to help rescue an animal in trouble.
