Description

In 1500, a young nobleman from Extremadó arrived at the shores of America. He was an adventurer, driven by the desire to make his fortune and lose it in the process.

This Vasco Núñez de Balboa heard a fantastical story from an indigenous cacique about a mysterious ocean beyond the mountains of the Darién jungle. According to the native's tale, this unknown sea was home to powerful tribes rich in gold and precious metals.

Author Alfonso Zapico has recreated this captivating story in comic form, drawing on his own experiences exploring the Panama wilderness during an expedition with the Fundación Mare Australe. The result is a gripping narrative that brings to life the challenges and uncertainties of Balboa's journey.
