Bartolomeu Dias and Vasco da Gama
Bartolomeu Dias and Vasco da Gama were explorers who sailed for Portugal. Dias is best known for being the first European to round the Cape of Good Hope in 1488, opening the sea route to Asia. Vasco da Gama later successfully navigated this route to India in 1498, establishing a direct trade link between Europe and Asia. Their expeditions significantly contributed to the Age of Exploration and Portugal's maritime dominance.
The answer before said yesss. Let me clarify that Francisco Pizarro was the explorer who brought down the Inca empire. I get confused between Bartholomeu Diaz and Vasco da Gama, but your question helps. In 1498, Vasco da Gama rounded the southern tip of Africa.
