ARELLANO, Ignacio. News from Juan Recio de León, Discoverer and Settler of Tipuane, Chunchos and Paitite (modern day Bolivia). Alpha [online]. 2011, n.33, pp.233-244. ISSN 0718-2201.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-22012011000200017.

The article offers an approximation to the figure of Juan Recio de León, discoverer and settler of Tipuane, Chunchos and Paitite, and to his memorials, particularly his Relación de los servicios que Juan Recio de León… ha hecho a su majestad de más de veinte años a esta parte and Breve relación, both of 1623. These texts have special interest because of the information that they present about the flora, fauna and the customs of the natives.

Palabras clave : Juan Recio de León; Memorials; Chronicles of the Indies.
