Years: 1499 - 1499

Alonso de Ojeda’s flotilla, on leaving Spain, had sailed along the west coast of Africa to Cape Verde before taking the same route that Columbus had used a year before on his third voyage.
After making landfall, Vespucci decides to separate from the flotilla and he sails south towards Brazil.
The main flotilla arrives at the mouths of the rivers Essequibo and Orinoco in the Gulf of Paria.
It also visits the peninsulas of Paria and Araya, the islands of Trinidad and Margarita and travels along the continental coast, always in search of a passage towards India.
The flotilla then sails along the Paraguaná Peninsula and sights the island of Curacao.
