Note 48 — Chapter XXVII

Buenaventura, the port of Cali, was founded by Juan Ladrillo, under orders from the Adelantado Pascual de Andagoya, who had received the government of the coast thence to Panamá. The municipality of Cali ordered that six or seven settlers should reside there to arrange for the landing of merchandize and its transmission across the mountains to Cali. The pilots with Vaca de Castro certainly showed great want of intelligence in not being able to find it (see Cieza de León , p. 105, Hakluyt Society's vol. 33, for 1864)
