Resumen
Francisco de Villagra ha sido generalmente identificado con el descubrimiento de Cuyo, sin que se haya profundizado el estudio de su actuación en la región. Esta resultó clave para el aprovechamiento de la mano de obra indígena local y para la tranquila expedición fundadora liderada por Pedro del Castillo diez años después. A fin de conocer y comprender mejor las acciones de Villagra en Cuyo se analiza la información documental temprana sobre el tema, se discuten algunas propuestas previas acerca de su itinerario, su estadía en la región, el lugar y fecha de una conocida tempestad, y se ofrece una descripción de las probables medidas tomadas durante ese período. En definitiva, se destaca su rol como conquistador del área, y se enmarca su conducta en el contexto de violencia propio de la época.
