The present study contributes new documents on the life of the black conqueror Juan Garrido who toured different territories of the Indies as a free and Catholic man in the 16th century. His participation was highlighted in such crucial historical moments as the «Noche Triste», the first wheat sowing in continental America or the creation of the first hermitage to San Hipólito in Ciudad de México. His close relationship with Hernán Cortés made him one of his references. The studies to date of the main researchers on this person maintain that he never returned to the Iberian Peninsula. We present this investigation where Juan Garrido, with the intention of taking the necessary steps before the administration to ensure the successful completion of the evidence that he sent to the king, and where he also proceeded to sell the indian Pedro to Sánchez Carrillo, which it gave rise to a judicial process found in the «Archivo General de Indias», since the aforementioned indian was free, allows us to affirm that the black conqueror Juan Garrido did return to the peninsula
