This video is a Spanish-language documentary about the failed voyage of Christopher Columbus. Columbus sets sail from Spain in 1492 in an attempt to find a route to the West, but his expedition becomes bogged down in the treacherous seas near the coast of Central America. He is forced to abandon his expedition and head back to Spain, leaving 80 men behind. A settlement is eventually founded, but the colonists are vulnerable to the harsh climate and numerous diseases and hostilities from the natives. In the end, Columbus' failed dreams of a successful Spanish colony led to the death of over 150 men.

00:00:00 In October of 1492, Christopher Columbus discovered the Americas, marking his moment of triumph and granting him a place in history. However, his story does not end here. Unknown to most people, Columbus crossed the Atlantic Ocean three times, risking everything to his reputation. He also made the fourth and final voyage, which was his biggest risk yet. He proposed a journey to the unknown beyond the world known to man, and if another person had achieved such a feat after 1492 their achievement would be considered greater. In spite of the dangers, Columbus' dream of sailing to the westward ocean to find the sun's rising and setting would be fulfilled. He made numerous promises to the Spanish kings in order to secure their permission to undertake this fourth voyage. One of his promises was to stay long enough to represent the church and expel the unbelievers from Jerusalem. They granted him an opportunity, and eight years before his first voyage, everything had changed. Columbus' dream of reaching China by sailing westward had become a reality. The vast and unexplored waters of the Pacific Ocean were now known as the "mar" or "ocean sea." Everyone knew that he was sailing towards the unknown. However, the sailors on his first voyage had fears about
00:05:00 In 1502, Christopher Columbus set sail on his first voyage to the Americas. His goal was to find a route to the West, from Spain to China, across the ocean. However, Columbus had no evidence that such a route even existed, since existing maps showed little more than the Atlantic Ocean beyond Spain's expansive waters. Columbus' assumptions about the world were based on what he knew at the time--that the distance between Spain and Japan was only 45,000 kilometers, while the actual distance was closer to 20,000 kilometers. Consequently, his first voyage was a costly and risky endeavor, as the European powers competed to achieve Asia by maritime route. In October of 1492, after years of fighting against Moorish rulers in Spain, Columbus' own countrymen finally expelled the Muslims from Granada. This event marked the beginning of his great voyage: he was finally able to launch his ambitious project to reach the East by sea, by taking advantage of the newly acquired naval technology of the 16th century. Columbus' small, fast caravels were well-suited for the task of exploring uncharted ports and navigating the great ocean waves. He completed his first voyage in three ships, carrying a mere 50 tons of
00:10:00 In 1492, Christopher Columbus set out on his second voyage to find new land, this time sailing across the Atlantic Ocean. The group of sailors aboard his ships were faced with many difficulties, including food shortages and the stench of the ship below decks. Many of the crew members resorted to sleeping outside in the elements. Eventually, the situation on board became ripe for a rebellion, and reports of Columbus' earlier voyages were filled with references to crew members mutinying. However, Columbus was able to quell the unrest with a few words, and after landing on what he thought was land, was disappointed to find that it was only clouds. Finally, on Friday, October 11th, 1492, he arrived in what is now Haiti, three days ahead of schedule. Upon landing, Columbus took possession of the island for the Spanish monarchy, naming it "San Salvador" in honor of our blessed Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. This is where Columbus' exploration of the new world came to an end - but his legacy lives on through his discoveries and the impact they had on the world.
00:15:00 In 1502, Christopher Columbus arrived in the New World, thinking he had arrived at the far-off Orient. He called the inhabitants "indians," believing they were descendants of the gods who had come down from the sky. The Taínos, who believed that their gods lived in the ocean, thought Columbus was divine. What Columbus didn't know was that these gods had other plans for the islanders and its resources. Within a few days of landing, Columbus had found gold in Taíno villages, exactly what he had come for - a rich source of plunder that could be taken by Spain's own officials and aristocrats, leaving 39 men behind in Spanish America. Columbus' second trip to the New World was much more difficult than the first. He crossed the Atlantic Ocean in a much more dangerous and slow way, landing in the Caribbean instead of the mainland. Once there, he sailed north, back towards Spanish America. But this time, the area around his settlement was covered by dense forests, making it difficult to find food and water. The site he chose for his colony, Isabela, was the worst possible location: malaria was rampant, the climate was brutal, and the surrounding area was swampy. Despite all these problems
00:20:00 In this documentary, Spanish-speaking viewers are introduced to Cristobal Colón, the explorer who is credited with discovering America. The documentary discusses Colón's first and second voyages to the New World, his establishment of the first European settlement in America, and his subsequent rule over the island. However, relations between the colonists and Colón were never good and, by the time of his third voyage, cracks had begun to appear in his empire. A group of colonists rebelled, and Colón was eventually forced to return to Spain, where he was met with hostility. He was ultimately executed for his crimes against the colonists.
00:25:00 Colón is a man who discovered the new world, and is now incarcerated in his own colony. He has returned to Spain and has qualified as a criminal, but all have underestimated the power of the colonist to defend themselves. He will have one last opportunity to prove his worth in the most difficult of all his forgotten fourth voyage. Cristóbal Colón became famous with the discovery of the new world, but this moment of glory was followed by a dramatic fall in fortune. Nearly 10 years after landing in America for the first time, Colón is again facing the Atlantic Ocean. This fourth voyage will be the most controversial and devastating of all. Despite his poor management of the new world upon his return to Spain encased and his trial for atrocities, the Spanish kings have pardoned him and even agreed to finance his last voyage. However, this dangerous adventure has a limited budget. Colón was a small-scale operation with no experience competing against two seasoned mariners and a crew of inexperienced explorers. It was obvious that this was not one of the Spanish monarchs' priorities. The crew know that Colón is the Atlantic Ocean's most experienced explorer, but they also know that he is a desperate man. His reputation and finances are in
00:30:00 This documentary examines the lost voyage of Christopher Columbus, who sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in 1492. The captain, with the rest of his crew, transport 140 people on a ship that is the latest in technology and navigational techniques. The winds across the Atlantic Ocean constantly blow from the south, so Columbus made innovative triangular sails that allow his fleet to navigate in a direction perpendicular to the wind and out of Europe into the Atlantic Ocean. Once in the Caribbean, the crews of Columbus disembark to resupply their ship. They must be completely resupplied, as they will not see land for weeks on end. Columbus always is on guard for the elements and observes an unusual change in the climate. He detects a strange calm in the air and abnormal currents that indicate a hurricane is imminent. Columbus has experienced a hurricane before, and knows that his fleet will never survive a storm like this.
00:35:00 Colón's lost voyage is documented in this Spanish-language documentary, which tells the story of how he attempted to sail to Spain with a message warning of an impending storm, but was refused permission to land. Only when his fourth voyage was authorized did the Spanish kings condition their support for it with the stipulation that he never return to Spanish America. When Colón finally arrives in Spain, his name is despised by the colonists. He was known for his cruel and tyrannical government as governor of the colony, but he has no other choice; he needs a safe port to refuge from the storm approaching. His messenger returns with terrible news: the governor, Ovando, will not allow them to land. No one on land believes that a storm is headed for Colón, and it is a devastating blow. However, the terrifying storm passes and Colón and his ships survive thanks to his skill as a sailor and his lucky luck. However, his fourth voyage is not yet over. He will have to navigate across unknown waters to find a route to the west unknown to Europeans. This is the beginning of Colón's lost voyage. His fleet sets sail again, this time stopping in Jamaica for supplies. They continue sailing westward across the Caribbean Sea, past Cuba
00:40:00 This video tells the story of Christopher Columbus and his fourth and final voyage. Columbus uses a method of navigation called "adjustments of accounts" to estimate his position at sea and find his way. The conditions on board the small ships were very cramped and unhealthy, with the men often not bathing and eating a diet of salted meat, wine, and aloe. Despite these conditions, Columbus persevered and eventually discovered the majority of the Caribbean islands. He continued his journey west, looking for a route to Asia, and reached the Pacific Ocean in October of 1500. After exploring the coast of Central America, Columbus determined that the river he was following led to India. He continued along the river, hoping to find a route to Asia, but was eventually forced to return to Europe due to a lack of supplies. This video demonstrates Columbus' perseverance and determination, and his belief in the possibility of reaching Asia through a secret canal.
00:45:00 Following the success of his voyage to the West Indies, Christopher Columbus was convinced that he had found a route to Asia, and began preparations for a second voyage. However, his crews began to mutiny, and by the time he returned, he had lost all faith in his quest. His flagship, the Santa María, foundered off the coast of present-day Panama, and the entire crew was lost with it. Columbus would never know if his theories about a different ocean were correct, but he did discover a new route to the Pacific, which would ultimately be used by Europeans to cross the continent. Despite his failures, Columbus remains one of the most celebrated and important figures in history.
00:50:00 Colón decides to abandon his quest to find a route to the West, after realizing that the indigenous people he had seen on the east coast of Panama were no longer similar to the ones he had seen throughout Venezuela. Gold, copper, and silver begin to flow through the hills along the coast, and he begins to trade with the indigenous people for items such as broken pottery and glass. However, his religious fervor leads him to mistreat the indigenous people and attempt to convert them to Christianity; the indigenous people of Panama are more war-ready than the ones he had found on the Spanish side of the Caribbean, and when they begin to suspect that the Spanish are not going to leave soon, they attack. The war is about to break out, and only a month after leaving Spain, Colón orders his 80 men to start pushing land into Panama. His brother Bartolomé Colón, who had followed him to Panama, is given instructions to found a colony with 50 men. However, when they get closer to the interior, Diego Méndez warns him of the impending war, and Colón spies on the indigenous people hidden in the jungle. He realizes that they are preparing for war, and the war does break out a month after his departure from
00:55:00 In this video, documentarian Javier Ruiz describes the failed voyage of Christopher Columbus, which is now known to be the result of many intentional and unintentional obstacles along the way. After setting sail from Spain in 1492, Columbus' ships became bogged down in the treacherous seas near the coast of Central America. He was forced to abandon his expedition and head back to Spain, leaving 80 men behind under the command of his brother Bartolomé. A settlement was eventually founded on land that would be named Belem in Portuguese, but the aspiring colonists were vulnerable to the harsh climate and numerous diseases and hostilities from the natives. On April 6, 1492, when the main fleet seemed to be abandoning the project, the Spanish attackers launched an assault. However, they were outnumbered ten to one and eventually lost the battle. Afterward, Columbus' men began to suffer from low morale and were losing battles even with superior technology. The Indians, on the other hand, were still very quick and agile and used weapons that were more suited for close-quarters combat. In the end, Columbus' failed dreams of a successful Spanish colony led to the death of over 150 men.

01:05:00 In 1513, Spanish explorer Christopher Columbus sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in an attempt to find a new route to the East Indies. After three anchors were lost in a storm, he was forced to make a tough decision: stay afloat or give up his quest. His one remaining anchor, the power of God, saved him, but the ships continued to make water every minute, day and night. Finally, the storm passed and Columbus reached land on Jamaica, where he and his crew were met by friendly natives. He was eventually stranded on an island with few provisions and no reinforcements, facing a desperate situation. His assistant, Diego Méndez, volunteered to go on a suicidal mission to the Spanish colony in Hispaniola, hoping to bring help. However, all the men refused to go, so Méndez went alone. He reached the colony and warned them of Columbus' plight, but no one came. Finally, he decided to take his own life, but was stopped by Columbus. The admiral then offered all the men the chance to join him on a final mission to return home, but no one accepted. One man, however, did: Diego Méndez. With his knowledge of the land and his navigational skills, he was the perfect candidate to
01:10:00 Diego Méndez and his crew of sailors attempt to sail to Spain from Jamaica, but are thwarted by powerful ocean currents and dangerous sharks. After two years and six failed attempts, they finally abandon Cristóbal Colón on Jamaica's shores.
01:15:00 The documentary, "El Viaje Perdido de Cristóbal Colón," tells the story of Christopher Columbus' fourth and final voyage to the New World, and his struggles against the native people he encountered. After several failed attempts to find a way to reach the Indies, Columbus' crew became so hungry and exhausted from Spanish demands that they decided to stop giving food to the natives daily. Eventually, it seems, the great explorer's journey may have come to an end, but one man still hopes for his rescue. Diego Méndez, a native hunter, is 160 kilometers away from Columbus in the Spanish jungle, and is risking his life to convince Nicolás Ovando, the governor of Hispaniola, to send a rescue mission. However, there is a long history of hatred between the explorer and Ovando, and it was Ovando who refused Columbus a safe harbor during the fourth voyage. Now, contemptuously dismissing him once more, Ovando watches as Columbus' great legacy is utterly destroyed. Despite being abandoned by half his crew, Columbus still manages to use his unique knowledge and skills to make astonishing predictions about the future. He has a lunar calendar with 30 years of predictions, and discovers that on February 29, 1504, an
01:20:00 In this documentary, Spanish-speaking viewers learn about the mysterious and disastrous journey of Christopher Columbus. Columbus was a great explorer, but his attempt to find a route to Asia via the Americas was a disaster. Half of his crew mutinied and took refuge in the jungle, and the governor, Ovando, sent a ship to find him but it was lost at sea. Only the captain, who arrived with only a piece of meat and some wine, was allowed to return to Spain. This insult finally leads to a full-scale rebellion among the mutineers, and the fighting continues to this day.
01:25:00 Colón's fourth and final voyage is documented in this Spanish-language documentary. Bartolomé Márquez, one of the original members of Colón's crew, later decides to forgive him and lead a successful rebellion against Borras. After 45 days at sea, the ship arrives in Jamaica, where many of the crew choose to stay and settle. Two years later, after a long journey across the Atlantic, Colón and his son Fernando find a ship to take them back to Spain. However, the voyage is disastrous, and Colón is humiliated when he has to pay his own way home. He dies penniless, aged 55, two years after his last voyage. His sons pursue his lost rights to the new world, but it is not until 300 years after his discoveries that his name is once again associated with the west.
01:30:00 The video follows the journey of Christopher Columbus, from his beginnings as a sailor to his great explorations in the New World. Despite death believing that his discoveries in what is now America were somewhere in the far-off Orient, Columbus always wanted to be someone special and to achieve this, he had to go to the sea and overcome the limits. He proved to be one of the most extraordinary and tenacious explorers in history, and his voyage against all odds is a testament to his strength and determination.
