Spanish Exploration and Arrival in Central America
In this episode, we explore the adventurous journeys of Spanish explorers seeking new lands. The first European to see the Pacific Ocean was not Cortez, but Basko Nunez de Balboa. Balboa believed Panama was an island, and he trekked through the jungle to lay eyes on the Pacific. These armed entrepreneurs, like Balboa and Juan Ponce de Leon, are using the Caribbean as a jumping off point to find new territories. Stay tuned for more exciting discoveries!
