Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca was primarily seeking wealth and new opportunities during his journey through the Americas in the early 16th century. Initially part of a Spanish expedition to explore and conquer Florida, he aimed to find gold and riches. However, after shipwrecking and enduring years of hardship, his focus shifted towards understanding and documenting the cultures and peoples he encountered. Ultimately, his journey became a significant account of early encounters between Europeans and Native Americans.
