The main goal for the Portuguese voyages though was to discover a trade route to West Africa without having to go through the Sahara Desert.

The main goal for the Portuguese voyages though was to discover a trade route to West Africa without having to go through the Sahara Desert. By the mid-1400s, this goal was realized and a trading port was established at Elmina in West Africa. Hope I helped. :)
