Note 164 — Chapter V

Sangalla, so called also by Alonzo Enriquez de Guzman (p. 149), Herrera, and others, was no doubt close to the modern Pisco, which is in latitude 13° 43´ S. If Sangalla is not identical with Pisco, it was probably on the site of the modern village of Paraccas, a few miles further south, and about in the latitude given by Cieza de Leon. There is an island still called Sangallan, off the peninsula of Paraccas, about two miles and a half long, with a bold cliffy outline.
