And so they set sail to Santa Marta, thinking they would find a very rich land, full of gold and pearls. But when, after two month of navigation, they reached the small coastal settlement of Santa Marta, all they found was a conglomeration of hovels and filthy, disease-ridden colonists who went about dressed in skins or roughly woven and padded cotton clothes made by the natives from surrounding areas. Soon food became scarce and tropical fevers began to smite down the strongest. </p><p>In 1536, De Quesada (who had no military experience) was chosen by <a href="/wiki/Pedro_Fern%C3%A1ndez_de_Lugo" title="Pedro Fernández de Lugo">De Lugo</a> to command an expedition to explore into the interior of New Granada, hoping to discover the dreamed El Dorado. A land party under De Quesada, with Hernán Pérez de Quesada (his brother), Juan San Martín, Juan del Junco (as second in command) Lázaro Fonte and Sergio Bustillo, struck south from Santa Marta, crossed the <a href="/wiki/Cesar_River" title="Cesar River">Cesar River</a>, and arrived at <a href="/wiki/Tamalameque" title="Tamalameque">Tamalameque</a> on the <a href="/wiki/Magdalena_River" title="Magdalena River">Magdalena River</a>. A support fleet of 6 (or 5) ships had also sailed from Santa Marta with 900 men to navigate the Magdalena.<sup id="cite_ref-Jiménez_de_Quesada,_Gonzalo_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Jiménez_de_Quesada,_Gonzalo-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Only two of the vessels actually arrived at Tamalameque, and subsequently returned to Santa Marta with many of De Quesada's men. Continuing up the Magdalena as far as La Tora (<a href="/wiki/Barrancabermeja" title="Barrancabermeja">Barrancabermeja</a>), De Quesada and his men ascended the Opon River into the <a href="/wiki/Cordillera_Oriental_(Colombia)" title="Cordillera Oriental (Colombia)">cordillera</a>, reaching the Opon hills, Chipata (near <a href="/wiki/V%C3%A9lez,_Santander" title="Vélez, Santander">Vélez</a>) (March 1537) and the valley of the Suárez River. Passing Lake Fúquene and Lake Suesca, they reached <a href="/wiki/Nemoc%C3%B3n" title="Nemocón">Nemocón</a> and <a href="/wiki/Zipaquir%C3%A1" title="Zipaquirá">Zipaquirá</a> and finally entered the <a href="/wiki/Muisca_Confederation" title="Muisca Confederation">Muisca Confederation</a> (ruled from Muyquytá, present day <a href="/wiki/Funza" title="Funza">Funza</a> and Hunza, on which the Spanish city <a href="/wiki/Tunja" title="Tunja">Tunja</a> was founded). </p><p>Only 180 men out of 800 survived, suffering terribly in the jungle: they were forced to eat snakes, lizards, frogs, and even the leather torn from their harnesses and the scabbards of their swords. In Bogotá, Quesada resigned and called for an election; he was elected captain-general, and threw off the last link that held him to the governor. The Muisca had two rulers. The <i>psihipqua</i> <a href="/wiki/Tisquesusa" title="Tisquesusa">Bogotá</a>, ruled in Muyquytá; the other, the <i>hoa</i> <a href="/wiki/Quemuenchatocha" title="Quemuenchatocha">Eucaneme</a>, ruled in <a href="/wiki/Tunja" title="Tunja">Hunza</a>. Taking advantage of a war between the two chiefdoms, Quesada's force subdued Muyquytá and then successfully attacked Hunza. At this point it was time to establish a settlement so that the earth itself might properly belong to De Quesada and his men. They chose a spot next to the towering peaks of the east, where the land was high and the rains would quickly run off, where the mountains would protect them from attackers and the jungles below. Quesada placed his right foot on the bare earth and said simply, "I take possession of this land in the name of the most sovereign emperor, Charles V." </p><p>Quesada remained in the region until the arrival of two expeditions at the end of 1538: <a href="/wiki/Sebasti%C3%A1n_de_Belalc%C3%A1zar" title="Sebastián de Belalcázar">Sebastián de Belalcázar</a> from Quito, modern-day capital of Ecuador, one of the captains of Pizarro who had mutinied against his leader; and <a href="/wiki/Nikolaus_Federmann" title="Nikolaus Federmann">Nikolaus Federmann</a>, a German from <a href="/wiki/Venezuela" title="Venezuela">Venezuela</a>. The three captains met on the savanna of New Granada. All three wanted to claim New Granada for themselves. In order to resolve their dispute, De Quesada persuaded them to go back to Spain with him and to submit their rival territorial claims to the arbitration of the crown. In July 1539, they sailed for <a href="/wiki/Spain" title="Spain">Spain</a> from <a href="/wiki/Cartagena,_Colombia" title="Cartagena, Colombia">Cartagena</a>. However, none of them obtained the governorship. De Quesada, after nearly a dozen years of wandering disconsolately through the gaming halls of Europe, returned to New Granada in 1550. Here, he settled down to live for nearly thirty years. He was a respected settler, becoming the most influential man in the Kingdom. He protected his fellow colonists from the severity of the officials and restrained the <i><a href="/wiki/Encomienda" title="Encomienda">encomenderos</a></i> (large landholders) greed. But his own desire for wealth and gold continued to live inside him. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Later_expeditions">Later expeditions</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Gonzalo_Jim%C3%A9nez_de_Quesada&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Later expeditions"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In 1569, at the age of 63, De Quesada received a commission to conquer the <a href="/wiki/Llanos" title="Llanos">Llanos</a> to the east of the <a href="/wiki/Cordillera_Oriental_(Colombia)" title="Cordillera Oriental (Colombia)">Colombian cordillera</a>. From Bogotá in April 1569 with 500 mounted soldiers, 1500 natives, 1100 horses and pack animals, 600 head of cattle, 800 pigs, a large number of negro slaves and 8 priests, he first descended to <a href="/wiki/Mesetas" title="Mesetas">Mesetas</a> on the upper <a href="/wiki/Guejar_River" class="mw-redirect" title="Guejar River">Guejar River</a>. There most of the livestock was destroyed by a grass fire. De Quesada's expedition then moved to nearby San Juan de los Llanos, where a course was set for east-southeast (by the guide Pedro Soleto), and maintained for the following two years. After a year or so some men returned with Juan Maldonado, reaching San Juan after six months with few survivors. De Quesada eventually reached (San Fernando de) Atabapo at the confluence of the <a href="/wiki/Guaviare_River" title="Guaviare River">Guaviare</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Orinoco" title="Orinoco">Orinoco</a> (in December 1571), any further movement requiring the construction of ships. He therefore dejectedly returned to Bogotá, arriving in December 1572 with only 25 Spaniards, 4 natives, 18 horses and 2 priests. The expedition had been one of the most expensive disasters on record. After a brief period of service in a frontier command (during which he suppressed an indigenous uprising) De Quesada, affected by <a href="/wiki/Leprosy" title="Leprosy">leprosy</a>, overcome with despair at his debts, owing more than 60 thousand ducats, was forced to seek a milder climate and died quietly, aged 70, in <a href="/wiki/Mariquita,_Tolima" title="Mariquita, Tolima">Mariquita</a>, an important <a href="/wiki/Muisca_economy#Trade" title="Muisca economy">market</a> town in the New Kingdom of Granada. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Death_and_legacy">Death and legacy</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Gonzalo_Jim%C3%A9nez_de_Quesada&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Death and legacy"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>After his death in, <a href="/wiki/Tolima_State" title="Tolima State">Mariquita</a> where he was buried in the Santa Lucía Abbey.
