Information About

Pedro Serrano




The island believed to be his was subsequently named Serrana Bank in his honor. The name first appears on a Dutch map of 1545 . Other versions place the events in the Pacific off the coast of Peru as late as the 1540s . There is some doubt about the historicity of the tale. The earliest known source is Garcilaso De La Vega's ''Commentarios'' ( 1609 ).
