Hernán Venegas Carrillo embarked on a ship sailing from Seville, Spain to the New World, probably in 1533, in the company of Juan del Junco.[7] He was one of the conquistadors who participated in the expedition from Santa Marta on the Caribbean coast to the Muisca Confederation on the Altiplano Cundiboyacense.[8]
In 1541, Venegas Carrillo received ownership of the encomiendas of Guatavita, Gachetá, Chipaleque, Pausa, Tuala, Tuaquira, Suba, Tocancipá, Gachancipá, Gachacá, Unta, Turmequé and Itencipá.[2] In 1542 and from 1543 to 1544, Hernán Venegas Carrillo was mayor, at that time called encomendero, of Bogotá. Between the two terms, the post was filled by Juan de Céspedes.[9][10]
On March 20, 1544, Venegas Carrillo founded the town of Tocaima.[11] He had been sent east by Alonso Luis de Lugo.[12] Tocaima became one of the richest cities in the New Kingdom of Granada.[13]
In 1547, Venegas Carrillo was sent to Spain and returned the next year.
