Upon arrival in the Viceroyalty of Peru, Solano was sent to the Andean village of Tucum\u00e1n in what is today Argentina, where he performed miraculous deeds. Birds followed him. A bull that had killed two Indians in the ring before breaking loose encountered Solano at the town plaza and became his pet. Solano devoted much of his time in Tucum\u00e1n to singing to the natives of nearby Paraguay. He immediately learned many indigenous languages and preached to the natives in their tongues. The day an army of 6,000 Indians surrounded Tucum\u00e1n, the Indians put down their arms and surrendered to the power of Christ. Solano returned from Tucum\u00e1n and Paraguay to Lima, walking with cilices on his body and nails on his soles. He headed north to Trujillo in Peru to tend the emerging communities of slaves and Indians who laboured in the sugar mills of the Pacific coast. But it was in the Nineveh that was Lima where he performed most of his salvific work. Solano was a preacher who did not just pacify birds, bulls, African slaves and Paraguayan Indians.
