Vasco Núñez de Balboa's expedition led him across the Isthmus of Panama to the Pacific Ocean, but it was the Spanish explorer and conquistador, Gonzalo de Moscoso, who later led an expedition through the southeastern United States. Moscoso's expedition, which began in 1540, explored areas that are now part of modern-day Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi, following in the footsteps of Hernando de Soto's earlier expedition. His journey aimed to find riches and establish Spanish presence in the region.
