Miguel and Rapunzel are both [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold good-natured blondes]] with green eyes who are able to befriend white horses that would normally be on the "enemy" side through sheer kindness (not to mention both horses have [[TrademarkFavoriteFood an affinity for apples]]; whereas Tulio and Flynn are both dark-haired and dark-eyed DeadpanSnarkers who dress in blue and (initially) dream of having more wealth in their life. Plus, Miguel and Rapunzel are both the more optimistic of their duos against Tulio/Flynn's pragmatism.

* Following up with this theory, it may be enchanted in such a way that not just anyone can understand it. Besides Miguel and Tulio, the only other people known to have understood its importance were the thieves they were gambling against at the beginning of the film. Small-time crooks are ideal candidates because they are greedy and adventurous enough to be lured by the promise of El Dorado’s gold, but not powerful or violent enough to present a real threat to the city when they get there. If Cortez himself had tried to read the map, it probably would have just looked like unintelligible scribbles to him.

* Considering the gods ''didn't'' show up, just two random Europeans, it's clear Tzekel Kan was mistaken about the actual date (though this doesn't account for the other implications, it at least means that it wasn't actually the year of the Jaguar, if the more mystical aspects of the plot are to be believed). Also considering the El Dorado people are Muisca not Mayan, they may have used a different calendar. After all, many modern day countries even have different calendars than their contemporaries, such as UsefulNotes/Iran and UsefulNotes/China, ranging from significant to minor differences.

The writers toyed with the idea of making their relationship a sort of "wink wink nudge nudge" thing that would be fairly open but [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar would fly over the heads of children.]] If you watch the movie with subtitles, then you will see that they left in a few endearments.

It's obvious just what role Chel was filling, what with that [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar scene of them in the floor]]. This strongly implies that the guys were in a relationship.

Think about it. They live around the same time and in the same continent. It wouldn't be completely crazy for Kuzco, one of the "gods'" son, to eventually become emperor.

[[WMG: The gods worshiped by El Dorado are Tulio and Miguel in a past life.]]
Hence why they look so similar to each other. It's even possible that the gods decided to experience mortal life and incarnated themselves in the mortal plane as the main duo.

That and we never get to see kuzco's actual parents.

* We have to assume that they're speaking Spanish, which we're hearing as English thanks to TranslationConvention. Thus, Tulio and Miguel aren't really using an American or an English accent, but the accents of a Spanish local and a fluent foreigner. Miguel may be Basque or Andorran, or, less likely, Portugese or French. That doesn't rule out the possibility of his real name being Mikel, Miquel, or Michel.

Which is what was supposed to have tested their friendship and nearly split them, but the creators figured this would be too clichè, so they changed it to a different conflict.
