    He went to 7 cities of gold first. Fray marcos was the guide in the second half of the trip. the guide was retured to sout for gross exageration. he discovered landmarks and the grand canyon. its important because it show that their really isnt any 7 cities of gold which propbably stopped exploration from going to the 7 cities.
