yes he discovered According to his admirers, Pizarro was the "discoverer of Peru, and the principal hero of its conquest."

According to other commentators, Pizarro was a "Spanish conquistador, conqueror of the Inca Empire and founder of Lima, La Ciudad de los Reyes, capital of Peru" (...)

"Historians have often compared Pizarro and Cortés' conquests in North and South America as very similar in style and career. Pizarro, however, faced the Incas with a smaller army and fewer resources than Cortés at a much greater distance from the Spanish Caribbean outposts that could easily support him, which has led some to rank Pizarro slightly ahead of Cortés in their battles for conquest.

Though Pizarro is well known in Peru for being the leader behind the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire, a growing number of Peruvians regard him as a kind of criminal. By taking advantage of the natives, Pizarro ruled Peru for almost a decade and initiated the decline of Inca culture. The Incas' polytheistic religion was replaced by Christianity and both Quechua and Aymara - the main Inca languages - were reduced to a marginal role in society for centuries, while Spanish became the official language of Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia and Chile. The cities of the Inca Empire were transformed into Spanish, Catholic cities. Pizarro is also vilified for having ordered Atahualpa's death despite his paid ransom of filling a room with gold and two with silver which was later split among all his closest Spanish associates."

He founded Lima, the modern day capital of Peru. He also destroyed the Inca civilization and founded land for Spain, which encouraged exploration in the Americas by Spain and other countries hoping to get a piece of this new world.
