Polynesians are believed to have visited the Americas around 1000 AD, with evidence suggesting contact primarily with South America. Notably, the possibility of Polynesian voyages to the coast of Peru is supported by the presence of sweet potatoes, which are native to the Americas, in Polynesia long before European contact. Additionally, some accounts and research suggest that Polynesian navigators may have reached the coasts of Central and South America, though the extent and nature of these interactions remain subjects of ongoing study.
