Is it true that Christopher Columbus landed on the mainland of North America during his voyages?
Yes. A reference article states that on 14 August Columbus landed on the continental mainland at Punta Caxinas, now Puerto Castilla, Honduras, and explored the coasts of Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. A second source covers only his first-voyage island landfalls in the Bahamas, Cuba and Hispaniola.
