On Wednesday, the day of the Epiphany (which is vulgarly called the Festival of the three Kings), on the 5th of January, 1533, the Captain Fernando Pizarro set out from the town of Caxamalca with twenty horse and a few arquebusiers. On that night he rested at some huts which were five leagues from the town. Next day he dined at another town called Ychoca, where he was well received. They gave him what he required for himself and his people. On the same day he came to pass the night at another small village called Huancasanga, subject to the town of Guamachuco. Next morning he reached the town of Guamachuco, which is large, and is situated in a valley surrounded by mountains. It has a beautiful view and good lodgings. The Lord of the place is called Guamanchoro, by whom the Captain and his companions were well received. Here arrived a brother of Atabaliba, who was hurrying the gold up from Cuzco, and the Captain learnt from him that the Captain Chilicuchima was twenty days' journey off, and that he was bringing the treasure that Atabaliba had sent for. When he found that the treasure was so far off, the Captain sent a messenger to the Governor, to ask him what should be done, adding that he would not advance until he received further orders.
