  COLUMBUS’S HIGH VOYAGE
  Columbus sailed along the coasts of what are now Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama.
  At the narrowest part of the isthmus of Panama, Columbus heard stories that a large body of water laid a dew days’ march across the mountains. Because of his failure to investigate these stories, Columbus missed the chance to become the first European to see the Pacific Ocean.
