Hernando De Soto's primary destination was the wealth of gold and riches he believed existed in the southeastern region of North America, particularly in areas that are now part of the United States. He aimed to explore and conquer territories such as Florida and beyond, hoping to find the fabled cities of gold. De Soto did explore extensive parts of the southeastern U.S., including Florida, Georgia, and the Mississippi River region, but he never found the riches he sought. Ultimately, he died in 1542 without reaching his goals.
