Best Answer

American Indian leaders told Balboa of a large sea nearby. In 1513, Balboa and his men wanted to find the sea. They climbed over mountains. They walked through land covered with trees and vines. One day at the top of a mountain, Balboa looked out and saw a large ocean. It was the Pacific Ocean. He became the first European to see the eastern shore of the Pacific Ocean
