After arriving in Salvador, Brazil, in 1500, Pedro Álvares Cabral, not Christopher Columbus, claimed the land for Portugal. Columbus, on his four voyages, primarily explored the Caribbean and parts of Central and South America. Following his initial voyage in 1492, he returned to Spain and undertook subsequent expeditions to explore more of the New World, ultimately focusing on areas like Hispaniola and parts of Central America. Columbus's later voyages were marked by challenges, including conflicts with indigenous peoples and difficulties in governance.
