Between 1492 and 1504, Columbus made four voyages to the “New World.” He did not know he had discovered a new continent, but thought he was just off the coast of Asia. The first voyage saw him in Cuba, Hispaniola, and San Salvador. His second voyage he explored the same areas as the first trip but also touched on Purto Rico and Jamaica. On the last two voyages he sailed along the northern coast of South America and explored the coast of Central America. This site has a map showing the voyages. encarta.msn.com/media_461514477/Four_Voyages_of_Columbus.html
