First Voyage

Second Voyage

Third Voyage

Fourth Voyage

Spain

Spain was looking for explorers to claim land for Spain, so they funded Vespucci's first two voyages

Portugal

Vespucci didn't make much progress in his second voyage, so Spain stopped funding him. Luckily, Portugal was more than ready to fund him.

Who knows?

Sometime on Vespucci's fourth voyage, he and his crew reached an island, the crew immediately scattered, so Vespucci was forced to sail back home. He never sailed again after that.

Venezuela

Amerigo Vespucci discovered Venezuela on his first voyage, a year before Columbus found it.

Guyana

Vespucci and Alonzo de Ojeda sailed until this point on Vespucci's second voyage, then split up.

Cape St. Augustine

This place, oddly enough, was actually discovered by another explorer, Pedro Álvares Cabral, but Cabral somehow didn't discover any other part of South America. Vespucci just used this Cape as a resting point.

Rio de Janeiro

Amerigo Vespucci also discovered Rio de Janeiro.
