This foundational work, commissioned by the peacemaker Pedro de la Gasca, offers a unique vision of the Andean world from the pre-Hispanic era to the first years of Spanish rule.

In this first part, Cieza de León focuses on describing the geography, natural resources, and indigenous societies he encountered along his journey. The author details the customs, traditions, and forms of social organization of the native peoples, as well as their initial contacts with the conquistadors. The work was written at the request of Pedro de la Gasca, who sought to document the pacification process of Peru following the revolts led by Gonzalo Pizarro. Although Cieza de León was unable to complete the entire work before his death in 1554, this first part stands as a fundamental document for understanding the early history of the American continent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eExploration and conquest of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHistory of the Andean world in the pre-Hispanic era\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCustoms and traditions of the indigenous peoples\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePacification of Peru after the rebellions of Gonzalo Pizarro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFirst European accounts of the geography and resources of South America\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is intended for historians, students of American colonial history, researchers interested in the conquest of Peru and the Andean world, as well as readers passionate about accounts of exploration and 16th-century chronicles.
