EXPLORATION AND FOUNDATION OF SANTIAGO DEL VIERZO.
The city of Cuzco was the center of operations discoverers to Los Andes. In the highlands, according to Indian tradition, was the kingdom of Great Paititi. Territory of such endless riches a renowned El Dorado. Pedro de Candia was the first to attempt an assault on the Alto Madre de Dios province Opatari. Later it would be our Juan Alvarez Maldonado who would undertake the exploration of these mythical lands in August 1567. Leaving Cuzco, went through the course of Pilcopata, and at the confluence of the rivers with Piñi Tone, founded the town of Santiago del Vierzo (December 1567), in people's lands Mojos. In his forward to the continental interior, was the port of Buenavista, and on the Madre de Dios River, where he built a shipyard to build boats and so trace the main river and explore the region. In the plains of Toromona, mouth Beni River, made new explorations. On May 20, 1568 passed the confluence of the Manu River in the great river Madre de Dios, on the left bank, and made Capinare port, which made a covenant of friendship with the local chieftain. Juan Alvarez Maldonado intended to make settlement in the province of the Toromona.
But in the city of Cuzco was more waiting their turn to English explorations in the Andes in search of riches and fame. The restless Gómez Tordoya begged the viceroy to go in the Andean region, but was denied. While Juan Alvarez Maldonado, six years later, it was granted royal permission to scan. All this encouraged the rebellion Tordoya Gómez, which went towards Chuncho province, and even made camp Ymarama village lands. The immediate consequence was the confrontation with Captain Manuel Descobar, Juan Alvarez Maldonado subordinate, and that Gomez Tordoya. The war between the English favored the indigenous rebellion of chiefs of Toromona, Caranpuje, Caliper and Marupa.
Given the serious situation of widespread rebellion, between English and Indians against the English, Juan Alvarez Maldonado himself out of Cuzco to the aid of his captain Manuel Descobar (November 13, 1568). From the port of Buenavista, Juan Alvarez seeks assistance from the chief Tarano, but are harassed by people Cavanana, forcing them to leave the land of Aravane. The Indians kill Chunca Tordoya Gomez, Captain Descobar disappears, and Juan Alvarez Maldonado was taken prisoner and then be released and Callahuaya area, where Cuzco again defeated. The end result is the loss of the conquered lands to the strong pressure from the Indian rebellion. The various foundations in English populations of Santiago del Vierzo case can be considered destroyed.
EXPLORATION AND OTHER STORIES. Juan Alvarez Maldonado came
to perform three scans. The first, during the years 1567 to 1569, in which case the Vierzo Santiago. The second in 1572, in the territory of the great river Madre de Dios, while the previous year had to quell the rebellion of Tupac Amaru Inca. The final examination is in 1587, which founded San Miguel de Apolobamba aguachile Village land.
Juan Alvarez Maldonado himself had time to recount his adventures discoverers on "merit and service information ... entitled discoverer of Nueva Andalucía, Chunchos, Mojos and Paititi, accompanied by a list of his discovery (1570 -1629)" . As we see, the dates of their delay discoveries in 1570, when the foundation of Santiago del Vierzo occurred in 1567. The reason for this peculiar concealment may be the failure of the foundation berciana, because it failed to consolidate as many others who run similar fate to English interests. But Don Luis Ulloa if contains the reference to its early explorations, in his "List of the Day and discovery of the Manu River (now the Mother of God) by Juan Alvarez Maldonado in 1567, Sevilla, Printing C. Salas (1899), 53 pages. In addition, an "Exhibition of the Republic of Peru submitted to the Hon. Argentine Government in the trial (between Bolivia and Peru), 2009, 320 pages, notes that "not allude, of course, to the expeditions and discoveries of the sixteenth century, whose memories had been completely erased at the time of issue of the European pig. Itself so that no one remembered in this time of Juan Alvarez Maldonado, no one knew anything about the existence of Madre de Dios (...) "(page 106). Even we read that "in these maps is perceived that the hydrography of Alvarez Maldonado is now forgotten: the Madre de Dios and Beni pouring directly into the Amazon (...)" (page 263).
