Núñez de Balboa may have considered his expedition in Panama a failure due to the lack of immediate wealth and resources, particularly gold, which many explorers sought during that era. Despite his significant discovery of the Pacific Ocean, the harsh conditions, resistance from indigenous populations, and internal conflicts within his expedition likely contributed to his perception of failure. Additionally, the challenges of establishing a sustainable settlement could have overshadowed his achievements, leading him to feel disappointed with the overall outcome.
