Diego himself ordered Sebastian Benalcazar to move the city to another place in order to secure the position of the Ecuadorian coastal region. They moved in 1535 to an Indian settlement called Guayaquile.
¿How was Guayaquil fundate?

Cacique Guayaquile, the leader of the Indians did not let them stay and attacked them and for that reason they moved to another place for the third time. They moved in August 1536. The one who took the city was called Hernando de Zaera to a place called Yagual.
In 1537, they were under the command of Fransisco Orellana that under orders of his cousin Fransisco Pizarro looked for a new place for the city called Santiago de Daule but they did not stay there either since Fransisco Orellana traveled to Cusco to support his cousin in his fight against Diego Almagro.
