The Davila entrada was a Spanish military expedition to the Maya Lowlands in 1531–1532, during the conquest of Yucatan, led by Alonso Davila under commission from Francisco de Montejo, the adelantado of Yucatan, to conquer the eastern Postclassic Maya polities for New Spain. The campaign initially went well for Davila, who marched through Cochuah and Waymil to Chetumal unopposed, founding Villa Real, an administrative centre for pacified polities, in the latter's port in the summer of 1531. Things soon turned south for them though, as first Waymil and then Cochuah rebelled against Spanish dominion, leading to a protracted siege which ultimately saw the conquistadors routed from their villa or small town in the autumn of 1532. The Spanish retreat itself, notably, was a seven-month voyage in Postclassic trading canoes to Honduras-Higueras.
