Pedro Álvares Cabral's route of exploration began in Lisbon, Portugal, in 1500 when he set sail for India. He took a westward course across the Atlantic Ocean, which led him to the coast of present-day Brazil, where he made landfall in April 1500, claiming the territory for Portugal. After establishing a settlement and exploring the region, he continued his journey around the Cape of Good Hope to reach India, arriving at Calicut in September 1500 to establish trade relations.
