Upon awakening, he decides to establish Macondo at the river side after days of wandering the jungle, José Arcadio BuendÃa's founding of Macondo is utopic.Founding patriarch José Arcadio BuendÃa believes Macondo to be surrounded by water, and from that island, he invents the world according to his perceptions. Soon after its foundation, Macondo becomes a town frequented by unusual and extraordinary events that involve the generations of the BuendÃa family, who are unable or unwilling to escape their periodic (mostly self-inflicted) misfortunes. Ultimately, a hurricane destroys Macondo, the city of mirrors just the cyclical turmoil inherent to Macondo.
