Oh, dude, Vasco Nunez de Balboa was a Spanish explorer who did some exploring in the 1500s. His family and friends were probably other Spanish explorers and some Spanish people he knew. Like, I'm sure he had a cousin or two who were like, "Hey, Vasco, good luck with that whole crossing the Isthmus of Panama thing!"

Vasco Nunez de Balboa was a Spanish explorer and conquistador who is best known for being the first European to lead an expedition to the Pacific Ocean from the New World. His family background is not extensively documented, but it is known that he was born into a noble family in Spain. Balboa's friends and allies included other Spanish conquistadors and explorers, such as Pedro Arias Dávila, who later became his rival. Balboa also formed alliances with indigenous tribes in Panama, including the Kuna people, to help him in his explorations and conquests.

Vasco Nunez de Balboa was a Spanish conquistador and explorer, so his family and friends were likely other Spanish conquistadors and explorers. He didn't have Facebook back then, so we can't check his friends list. But I'm sure he had a few drinking buddies to share tales of his adventures with.

Unlike most conquistadors, Nuñez de Balboa was born into a relatively wealthy family. His father and mother were both of noble blood in Badajoz, Spain: Vasco was born in Jeréz de los Caballeros in 1475. Although noble, Balboa could not hope for much in the way of inheritance, as he was the third of four sons. All titles and lands passed to the eldest and younger sons generally went into the military or clergy. Balboa opted for the military, spending time as a page and squire at the local court.
