La cr\u00f3nica de fray Gaspar de Carvajal sobre el descubrimiento y exploraci\u00f3n del r\u00edo Amazonas por parte de la denominada expedici\u00f3n de Orellana es una de las obras literarias clave para el estudio de la conquista de las Am\u00e9ricas. Partiendo desde Quito y una vez cruzado el paso de los Andes, la expedici\u00f3n se internar\u00e1 en la inh\u00f3spita selva amaz\u00f3nica ya con escasez de provisiones. Gonzalo Pizarro, gobernador de Quito, ordena a su segundo al mando, el capit\u00e1n Francisco de Orellana, que con cincuenta hombres (entre los que se encuentra el capell\u00e1n dominico Gaspar de Carvajal) descienda el r\u00edo Napo hasta alcanzar su desembocadura en un r\u00edo mayor, y volver con avituallamiento que pudieran encontrar y cargar en el peque\u00f1o barco en el que iban. Orellana hallar\u00e1 la confluencia del Napo y el Trinidad pero sin conseguir provisiones. Sin poder volver atr\u00e1s por la fuerza de la corriente, decide seguir r\u00edo abajo, hasta llegar a la desembocadura del Amazonas en 1542.Carvajal, que es uno de los supervivientes de esta expedici\u00f3n, narra los acontecimientos en esta Relaci\u00f3n, escrita en 1542, pero no ser\u00e1 publicada al completo hasta 1895. Escrita con sencillez e ingenuidad, y no exenta de fantas\u00eda, es un valioso documento con informaci\u00f3n de gran inter\u00e9s etnol\u00f3gico: como disposici\u00f3n y tama\u00f1o de los poblados, ocupaci\u00f3n continua a lo largo de las barrancas del r\u00edo, caminos amplios que comunican el r\u00edo Amazonas con la tierra firme, t\u00e1cticas de guerra, rituales, costumbres y utensilios. Tambi\u00e9n es la causa por la que fray Gaspar de Carvajal ha pasado a la historia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
