On the night between October 11 and 12, 1492, Christopher Columbus and his crew faced a violent storm in the Atlantic Ocean. The ships, the Santa Maria, the Pinta, and the Niña, were tossed by the waves, and anxiety spread among the sailors. But Columbus's courage guided them through the storm.

At dawn, a cry of "Land!" broke the silence. A young sailor had spotted land. Columbus, incredulous, ordered to head toward the island he named San Salvador. When the Santa Maria touched the sand, the crew erupted in joy. Columbus planted the cross, claiming the new territory for Spain.

Upon meeting the indigenous people, Columbus was struck by their hospitality. Ignoring future consequences, he explored the land with enthusiasm, convinced he was near Asia. His efforts would open a new era of exploration and change, marking the beginning of a contact that would transform the world.
