1524 Voyage

The 1524 voyage refers to the expedition led by Alonso de Ojeda, supported by the explorer Sebastian Cabot, aimed at exploring the northern coast of South America. Undertaken by Spanish explorers, the journey sought new territories and trade routes, ultimately contributing to European knowledge of the region. The voyage involved navigating along coastlines, establishing early contact with indigenous peoples, and mapping unfamiliar lands. While it did not result in immediate colonization, it laid important groundwork for future explorations and the eventual Spanish presence in South America.
