Pizarro en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonzalo_Pizarro rallied his men to finish the bridge, which they did, and then they made the final surge over the mountains and reached the outskirts of Quinto. Word of their return traveled fast throughout the city, and people came out to meet them, bringing pigs and horses and clothes for Pizarro and his captains, who were a dreadful lot to witness. They came, according to officials who watched their arrival, more like animals than men. Augustin de Zarate, a Spanish official, recorded what he saw as Gonzalo Pizarro and his miserable band arrived at the end of June 1542:

They were travelling almost naked, for their clothes had rotted long ago with the continuous rains. All they wore was a deerskin before and behind, some old breeches and leggings and caps of the same skin. Their swords wee sheathless and eaten with rust. They were all on foot, and their arms and legs were scored with wounds from the thorns and bushes. They were all pale and disfigured that they were scarcely recognizable. ~ Page 102
