He took part in battles against the Chileans and was again expelled as undesirable. Moving to Peru, he obtained the title of "civil engineer" from the Ministry of War. However, his desire to travel persists. He undertook two expeditions (1852 and 1861) to Peru, devoting his time to observing, drawing and establishing topographical surveys of the region.
