He sailed still farther south and made his landfall on Trinidad. He sailed across the mouth of the Orinoco River in present Venezuela. Then in 1502 columbus finally gathered thereestablish his reputation. If he could sail past the islands and far enough west, he hoped he might still find lands answering to the description of Asia or Japan. He struck the coast of Honduras in Central America and coasted southward along an inhospitable shore, suffering terrible hardships, until he reached the Gulf of Darién.
