Magellan was convinced to trust Balboa's instinct to sail west to reach Asia due to the prevailing belief that a westward route would be shorter and more direct than existing eastern routes. Balboa's earlier exploration and discovery of the Pacific Ocean provided credible evidence that there was a vast body of water that could potentially lead to Asia. Additionally, the promise of wealth and trade opportunities in the Spice Islands further motivated Magellan to pursue this uncharted path. Ultimately, Balboa's insights aligned with Magellan's ambitions for exploration and commerce.
