En 1500, après le retour triomphal de Vasco de Gama, Cabral est chargé du commandement d'une flotte de 13 caravelles avec Bartolomeu Dias comme vice-amiral. Il suit les instructions de Vasco de Gama qui conseille de suivre une route au Sud-Ouest le plus loin possible (pour profiter des alizés) avant de se tourner plein Est pour franchir le cap Bonne Espérance et pénétrer dans l'océan indien (les vents d'ouest sont alors prédominants).
