1396 CE to 1539 CE

Little exploration of the Honduras region take places for the next two decades.

Spanish navigators Juan Diaz de Soils and Vicente Yafiez Pinzon probably touch on part of the Honduran coast in 1508 but devote most of their efforts to exploring farther north.

Some expeditions from the islands of Cuba and Hispaniola may reach the mainland and encounter the population of the Islas de la Bahfa in the second decade of the century, but otherwise the Honduran Caribbean coast is a neglected area.

Interest in the mainland is dramatically revived as a result of the expedition of Hernán Cortés to Mexico.
