No, explorer Vasco Núñez de Balboa was not Portuguese; he was Spanish. Born in Spain around 1475, he is best known for being the first European to see the Pacific Ocean from the New World after crossing the Isthmus of Panama in 1513. Balboa's expeditions were part of Spain's broader exploration and colonization efforts in the Americas.
