The general purpose of explorer and colonist Vasco Nunez de Balboa (c. 1475-1519) was to further his own and Spain's national interest through conquest and colonization of portions of the Americas in the early 16th century. The most famous and important portion of his effort was an attempt to locate (and then claim for Spain) the 'South Sea' -- the Pacific Ocean -- which he successfully accomplished in 1513, thereby becoming the first known European to set eyes on the Pacific from across the Americas.
Most of the explorers primary goal was to look for a water route to Asia, but they also wanted fame, riches, and adventure.

Unlike most conquistadors, Nuñez de Balboa was born into a relatively wealthy family. His father and mother were both of noble blood in Badajoz, Spain: Vasco was born in Jeréz de los Caballeros in 1475. Although noble, Balboa could not hope for much in the way of inheritance, as he was the third of four sons. All titles and lands passed to the eldest and younger sons generally went into the military or clergy. Balboa opted for the military, spending time as a page and squire at the local court.
