Juan Ponce de Leon's purpose for his journey was to find the Fountain of Youth which was a big myth in Europe back then.

He never found the fountain at Florida so he then went looking at a Carribean island called Bimini, he didnt find it there either. He had also conquered Puerto Rico and established San Juan, he was the governor for a while until being removed.
