He began his american career in 1549 and returned to the metropolis in 1572. For more than twenty years he held the position of oidor in the Viceroyalty of Peru, at a time of such political instability and recurrent rebellions as the early sixteenth century. During that time, he held strong relationshinps with the local elite. In 1561 licenciado Briviesca de Muñatones visited the Lima tribunal. The royal envoy showed in several charges the breaches of Minister Saravia. Out of the allegations and the resulting releases, it is intended to recreate the actions of Doctor Saravia in order to understand the paradigm of justice that the Catholic Monarchy transfer to the Indies.
