EEBC dissolved by Spanish Royal Decree in 1760, Iturriaga and Solano returned to Spain before the Court and made a number of approaches to ensure the Spanish rule in the possessions of the Orinoco and the Black River. Of these approaches did the actual decision to create paths Commandery. On 17 March 1767, Diez de la Fuente (Lieutenant-Solano) up to sixty Emerald accompanied Spanish and Wadena and Wasaha chiefs who head a group of 3,000 ethnic Indians: Maquiritare, Wuainabis, Catarapenas and Macos . And with those 3000 people restart the development of the Esmeralda, founded by the Capuchin Fathers Mission San Francisco de la Esmeralda and build a church in the town, a strong house of stone, one hundred European-type houses and 20 Ettes (churuatas Maquiritares ).

The town of La Esmeralda is renamed San Francisco de Assisi that day, March 17, 1767. Padamo in the river, Diez de la Fuente and Wadena, with religious Capuchins, founded in 1769, the missions of the Peoples of the low Padamo San Felix and Santa Gertrudis del Alto Paramo, as collection centers which would provide for cocoa in the cocoa wild the Padamo.

In 1772, the Capuchin Missionaries of the Orinoco region - Amazon, sorted by Centurion are relieved by Franciscan missionaries who were called Missionaries Observant. Also in 1772, Wadena chief completes a series of buildings in 28 camping sites in a land route - the Maquiritares river between La Esmeralda and knew he used Angostura Iguape Rivers, Padamo, Ventuari, Erebato, and Caura, with other rivers Minors and inland transport.

With this new joint communication pathway of only 800 km, is reliably linking these two populations that are far 1,600 km When using only the path of the Orinoco. The Yanomami presence is much later, dating from early this century, so no wonder the prominence Maquiritares temporarily maintained in a culture very fluid process, where the specific number or more of the Yanomami Guaica, better balance the presence of the two ethnic groups in the exercise of municipal power.
