He wanted to find gold and he wanted to find food and spices but mainly to stop HUMAN sacrifice, he had only 500 men on the voyage as well as a few horses, one or two canons and some guns. Indians accompanied Cortes as well. He wanted to also conquer the Aztec Empire. Which he did after he left Diego Velasquez.
