In Hispaniola, Vasco Núñez de Balboa unsuccessfully attempted to establish a settlement and find gold. He faced challenges from local indigenous populations and the Spanish authorities, which ultimately led to his departure from the island. Despite his ambitions, he was unable to secure the resources and support necessary to establish a successful colony there. Balboa's later expeditions would eventually lead him to the discovery of the Pacific Ocean.

Vasco Nunez de Balboa is a conquistador who is best remembered for being the first European to view the eastern edge of the Pacific Ocean. He also founded the first permanent settlement by Europeans in the New World. Over the course of his life as an explorer, de Balboa made two voyages. His first voyage was from the Spanish Kingdom to the isle of Hispanola where he tried to (unsuccessfully) settle. His second voyage took him to the Panama isthmus where he hid away on an ship to escape his debtors.
