Francisco de Orellana’s Epic Voyage to the Amazon

In the early 16th century, tales of unimaginable wealth and vast, uncharted territories captivated the European imagination. Among the explorers driven by these legends was Francisco de Orellana, a Spanish conquistador known for his unyielding spirit and hunger for discovery. Born in Trujillo, Spain, in 1511, Orellana sought fame and fortune in the New World, joining Francisco Pizarro’s conquest of the Inca Empire in Peru. However, the lure of the unknown beckoned him further east, into the heart of the mysterious and formidable Amazon jungle.
