He wasn't. Pizarro was sent to South America, and he conquered the Inca Empire, which would correspond to present-day Peru, Ecuador, Colombia and Bolivia.

On the other hand, Hernan Cortes is considered the conqueror of Mexico, after defeating the Aztec Empire in 1521.

Both conquistadors looked after God, gold and glory when traveling to the New World.
