Resumen
This article analyzes the role of pilot Juan Ladrillero [1190-1559] in expeditions of Hispanic expansion in America, as a key to understand the relationship between cosmographic knowledge and geopolitical strategies in two world-passages that connected the New World with the rest of the globe: the Isthmus of Panama and the Strait of Magellan. In this context, the language of the ``secrets of the land'' is highlighted as a useful device for political and geographical understanding of the processes of territorial construction and expansion in the New World, and with it, the global projection of the Hispanic monarchy in the first half of the 16th century.
