Did Amerigo Vispucci explore the east coast of south America tring to find different land?Yes he explored the east coast of south America .People thought that south America was smaller and he proved that south America was much bigger. Amerigo Vispucci and his partner Alonso de Ojeda thought that they were in a part of Asia.But they were in south America and discovered the mouth of the Amazon and the Orinoco Rivers.He went on his second expedition to Portugal in 1501-1502.When he went he mapped a few places of the east coast of south America.The map changed at that by making some rivers and south America got much bigger on the map.
