Jornadas náuticas (1647). Carvajal was a dominic friar and he was integrated in the expedition leaded by captain Ochagavía with the objective of discovering the union between Apure and Orinoco rivers. His chronicle brings a very rich information about animals, flora and customs of the natives. Animal world is described with rethorical strategies which are habitually learned at universities and seminars of Spain and America. Besides, I suggest that Carvajal writes for an implied reader living in America.
