Rodrigo de Bastidas was a Spanish explorer who mapped the northern coast of South America. He is most well-known for his discovery of Panama. He sailed with Christopher Columbus on his second voyage, and after returning to Spain, he petitioned the Monarchy to allow him to start his own quest, financed with his own personal money.
