He was looking for a shortcut to Asia, gold and spice for the monarchy of Spain, who financed his voyage. What he found was the islands of the Caribbean, South and Central America and the people who inhabited these places.
Christopher Columbus originally planned to sail across the world from europe, sailing west, and eventually arrive in India, rather than sail around Africa's southern tip, which is home to treacherous waters. Instead he landed in the Caribbean, where he demanded gold. Originally he was looking for the rich spices, fabrics, and general wealth of india and the Middle East at the time. When he found he was not in India, he took what he could, including many lives. His main request at the new world, however, was gold.
Columbus hoped to find many things on his voyage. Some of these things were spices, and a city of gold.
