Pedro de Heredia was the founder of the Colombian city of Cartagena de Indias in 1532. At that time, along with 150 soldiers, he set off from the island of Santa Marta, across the river Magdalena, with a governor nomination. The new city was chosen after the lost battle of Alonso de Hojedy with the Indians in 1509. In this area Heredia was searching for gold and the road to El Dorado. He studied the left bank of Magdalene, between the Central and Western Cordillera discovered the valley of the river Sinu. There he met with the culture of the Chibcza Indians; He ravaged and robbed their cemeteries, captured large amounts of gold and emeralds.

Heresy, Francisco Cesar, along with dozens of soldiers, set out for further conquest and after nine months discovered rich cemeteries in the Cauca Valley. The cemetery was desecrated by them, and the value of the spoils was estimated at 30,000 pesos. While plundering, Cesar's unit was attacked by Indians and forced to flee. After seventeen days they reached Darién on the bay of Urabá.

In 1536, the new governor of Santa Mart de Pedra de Lugo, Vadilla, was sent to Cartagena. His task was to subdue Pedro de Heredia, whom he deprived of power, and his soldiers recruited to his side. Then, through the valley of Cauca, he led them in search of the Eldorado. Among them was the later chronicler of the conquest of Colombia and Ecuador and the civil war in Peru - Cieza de Leon.
