Caspar Schmalkalden (c. 1616 – 1673) was a German traveler who journeyed through South America and Asia as a soldier in Dutch service. After returning in 1652, Schmalkalden wrote a travelogue comprising nearly 500 handwritten pages, recording geographical, ethnological, and biological observations of the flora and fauna of the regions he visited. Although the exact background of his travels remains unknown, Schmalkalden's report is one of several similar 17th-century travelogues. While it revealed no new discoveries from a European perspective, his notes remain a valuable addition to contemporary historical sources.
