Lucas de Quiros drew a map of the western side of South America, from Cartagena to Magellan’s Strait, under the auspices of the Prince of Esquilache, Viceroy of Peru.

[13] Don Gaspar de Zuñiga y Azevedo, Count of Monterey, had been Viceroy of Mexico from 1595 to 1603, and was transferred to Peru to succeed Don Luis de Velasco. He arrived at Lima in very bad health.
[14] He had been Pilot of the ship which brought the Count of Monterey from Acapulco to Callao.
[15] Juan de Iturbe says 40°, for which there is no other authority. But Arias, in his Memorial (see p. 528), says that Quiros was advised by Torres and his other companions to go as far as 40° S. Quiros and Torres give 30° as the limit. It was the proposal of Quiros himself, not in any instructions given to him. There were no such instructions.
