Hernan Cortes intended to sail to Mexico. Hernan Cortes is most known for overthrowing the Aztec empire and claiming Mexico for Spain.
The riches of the Aztec empire led other Spanish conquerors to seek their fortunes in south America.
It is the North Atlantic Ocean, and the South Atlantic Ocean if you sail to the very south of South America.
Hernán Cortes sailed for Spain both because he was Spanish by birth (and therefore harbored loyalty to his fatherland) and because King Carlos V of Spain agreed to fund his voyages. Mostly it was the latter reason.
He sailed to South America in 1831.
