In the late 15th century, sailing across the Atlantic Ocean typically took several weeks to a few months, depending on the route, weather conditions, and the type of vessel. For example, Christopher Columbus's first voyage in 1492 took about 36 days to reach the Bahamas from Spain. Factors such as wind patterns and navigational skills also significantly influenced travel time during this period.

No ocean was discovered then. "Western" explorers such as the Vikings had been sailing the North Atlantic ocean fore some time before that, and the South Atlantic was first sailed by the Phoenicians some 200 years BC and its existence was well known to the ancient Greeks and Romans. All the other oceans (like the Indian Ocean and the Pacific) were discovered by Westerners in the 15th and early 16th century.
The continent you are describing is South America. It is bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the north and east. European colonization of South America began in the late 15th century, around the same time as North America, with Spain and Portugal being the primary colonial powers in the region.

Diaspora
The 15th century was the century which lasted from 1400 to 1499.
Europeans primarily discovered the Atlantic Ocean during the Age of Exploration in the 15th and 16th centuries. This period saw explorers like Christopher Columbus and John Cabot navigating across the Atlantic, leading to the European awareness of the Americas. Additionally, the Pacific Ocean was later encountered by explorers such as Ferdinand Magellan, who was the first to circumnavigate the globe. These discoveries greatly expanded European knowledge of global geography and trade routes.
the population of Spain in the 15th century was 178,000,000,000
