Juan Ponce de León is best known for exploring and claiming Florida for Spain in 1513, believing it to be an island rich with gold and the legendary Fountain of Youth. He also explored parts of the Caribbean, including Puerto Rico, where he served as the island's first governor. His expeditions significantly contributed to the early European exploration of the Americas.
