The great granddaughter of the discoverer of the Pacific, Captain Nunez de Balboa, Vasco . He chose a military career as a young man. He participated in the wars of France and the Netherlands, under the leadership of Prince Manuel Filiberto of Savoy and Earl of Egmont , and directly at Rodrigo de Basan, and was among the winners of the battle of Gravelin over the French armies of Marshal De Termes ( 1558 ).
Church Life
Upon his return to Malaga in 1565 or 1566, he joined the Order of the Augustinians . Seduced by the desire to instruct the atheists of other worlds in the Catholic faith, he crossed into India ( 1566 ); in Bogota , he spoke for a long time with conquistador Gonzalo Jimenez de Quesada about the origin of the Indians, and also met with Juan de Orozco , the author of the lost work “ El Peregrino ”. In 1573 he was a resident of Potosi and was in Quito in 1574 , where he began the “first drafts” of his chronicle; he volunteered to pacify the province of Esmeraldas , which for 25 years was the center of black slaves and rebel Indians ( July 8, 1577 ), and was elevated to the rank of vicar of the city of Avila ; in the governorship of the peoples of Quixos ( 1578 ) encountered a rebellion of the Indians. He achieved peace, and introduced himself in Lima to Viceroy Martin Enriques , received a church parish in the village of San Juan, in the Ica Valley ( 1580 ). From there, he seems to have made short trips to various cities to gather information. He spent three years in Ecuador . And faithful to his missionary calling, he moved to Charcas ; he secured his appointment as a priest in Kamata , in the municipality of Larrekah , and there he carried out activities for the evangelization of the Indians in the province of Karabaya , and visited the settlements of the Lekos and Aguachiles (lecos and aguachiles) in the Amazon Selva.
