Vasco Núñez de Balboa's primary goal during his explorations was to find a westward route to the riches of Asia, particularly the fabled islands of gold and spices. He sought to establish Spanish claims in the New World, particularly after he became the first European to see the Pacific Ocean from the New World in 1513. Additionally, he aimed to expand Spanish influence and facilitate trade, paving the way for further exploration and colonization in the Americas.
