The Andes Mountains were not "discovered" in the modern sense, as they have been inhabited by Indigenous peoples for thousands of years. However, the first European to document the Andes was the Spanish explorer Francisco Pizarro during his conquest of the Inca Empire in the 16th century. Pizarro and his men encountered the Andes while navigating through the region, which was already known to the Inca civilization.
