It seems that the first Spanish who accidentally reached the Yucatán shores were Jerónimo de Aguilar and Gonzalo Guerrero, who jointly with other seamen wrecked in 1511 near the island of Jamaica (Landa, 1992:12).
According to the available data, by the time of the early expeditions to Yucatán, the villages of Jerónimo de Aguilar and Gonzalo Guerrero were located somewhere near Isla Mujeres (Díaz del Castillo, 1999:46-48), in the region we now know by the name of Ecab.
In this second expedition, Francisco de Montejo, who would later initiate conquest operations in the peninsula, was the captain of one of the vessels.

Gonzalo Guerrero, a peasant, and Geranimo de Aguilar, an aristocrat, are the two who survive the initial night of sacrifices.
Aguilar becomes a servant to the Mayan ruler whereas Guerrero eventually marries a Mayan princess and becomes himself a Mayan lord – refusing to join Cortes when offered the opportunity because he has been so physically and morally transformed.
It is Gonzalo Guerrero’s search for himself and his final speculation that ‘we are all really Mayan, siding more with the spectacle of cruelty and suffering than with the love and peace we pretend to espouse’ which centers the novel’s unsettling theme.
