Best Answer

Although some associate him with the search for the legendary "fountain of youth," Ponce De Leon was mainly seeking more sources of treasure as were the other Spanish conquistadors. But there was little in the Bahamas or in Florida compared to Mexico or Peru.

His final voyage in 1521 was an attempt to establish a colony in Florida. For various reasons (hostile natives for one), it failed, and Ponce de Leon was injured by a poisoned arrow. He died shortly after returning to Havana.
