Yes, Vasco Núñez de Balboa is known for his exploration and conquest of lands in present-day Panama. He is famously credited with being the first European to see the Pacific Ocean from the New World in 1513. Balboa established a settlement called Santa María la Antigua del Darién and claimed the region for Spain, effectively conquering parts of Central America during his expeditions. His actions contributed to the Spanish colonization of the Americas.
