Excerpt from Historia del Nuevo Mundo, Vol. 3
Pocos ríos en comparación de la mucha tierra fértil que, si hubiera copia de agua, se pudiera sembrar. Corren estos Llanos Norte Sur más de seiscientas leguas con latitud desde diez hasta cincuenta, y por falta de agua no es de pro vecho la vigésima parte de tan gran pedazo de tierra; en el cual hay muchos despoblados de veinte, á treinta y á cin cuenta leguas, en que ni aun para beber los caminantes nace agua, como vemos en las provincias de Piura y Ata cama; y así no tenían los indios poblado en estos Llanos más que las orillas de los ríos, y lo demás estaba yermo de hombres y animales. En las partes mediterráneas deste mismo reino del Perú hallamos también grandes pedazos de tien;a, aunque no del todo inútil como la de los Llanos.
