Ponce de León first sailed for Florida in 1513 primarily in search of the mythical Fountain of Youth, which was believed to grant eternal youth and vitality. Additionally, he aimed to claim new territories for Spain and expand its influence in the New World. His expedition was also motivated by the desire to find gold and other riches.
