Extensive and redundant documentation has been found in the investigation of the colonial history of Tópaga, specifically alluding to the evangelization carried out by the Society of Jesus in the 17th century. These valuable records about the town were written by the Jesuits themselves who repeatedly quote each other constantly magnifying their work and interests, limiting the horizons and scenarios of other events. This reflective article seeks to contribute to the history of Tópaga from a perspective detached from the Jesuit grandiloquence. To achieve this objective, four ecclesiastical visits registered in the baptismal record book of this town are made known, and a paleographic work was carried out, reason why unpublished documents are being made publish. The essential elements of their content were identified to complement the causes and motives of the Jesuit settlement in the places of the landscapes of Tópaga and that are not fully indicated in their historiography.
