Vasco Nunez de Balboa did not go down the mountain with his brother. In fact, it was his loyal indigenous guide named Quibian who accompanied him during a crucial historical moment.
In 1513, Balboa, a Spanish explorer, became the first European to lead an expedition across the Isthmus of Panama and reach the Pacific Ocean. The journey was arduous, and Balboa faced numerous challenges, including traversing dense jungles and crossing treacherous terrain.
