Yes, Spain wanted gold and silver, they also had heard that the Inca and the Aztec owned many of these desired riche, so they set off to establish a trade with them, only to discover the many inhumane practices both the Aztec and Incas had (cannibalism, human sacrifices, and other cruelties). After this discovery, the Spanish decided, the only way to eliminate these gory practices was to conquer those responsible, the Aztec's and Incas.

Mainly for wealth, but also for power and land. When the Spanish explorers in the New World discovered that the two main advanced American Native civilizations, the Incas and the Aztecs, coveted gold and silver as did European nations, Spanish conquistadors did their best to steal and mine for these precious metals. The Aztecs were conquered and the same thing for the Incas. Spain also established colonies to add more territory under their control as they sought to be the major power in Europe and the New World.
