neither of the Voyager probes visited Pluto, Voyager 1 swung by Jupiter and Saturn and then left the orbital plane to exit our solar system on the shortest way, Voyager 2 stayed in the plane until Neptune and then left it aswell

New Horizons will be the first probe to visit Kuiper belt objects

So the Voyagers left our solar system without going through the Kuiper belt?

yes, the Kuiper belt is located roughly on the orbital plane (with a lot more deviation than the planets show), which is why it's a "belt" and not a "cloud" like the oort cloud that is all around our solar system, but in the directions the voyager probes were sent to "exit the solar system" (exit the territory dominated by solar particles) that one is still far away

and actually the existance of the Kuiper belt was only proven 15 years after the Voyager missions started

What you are saying that while the Voyagers could have found the Kuiper belt, the direction they took (up or down, not important now), made them miss that belt, right?
