The publications of the Hakluyt Society (founded in 1846) made available edited (and sometimes translated) early accounts of exploration. Pedro de Cierza de León (c.1520-1554) travelled extensively in Peru between 1548 and 1554. This book is the second of two Hakluyt volumes containing an English translation of his observations.
