In search of wealth.
He explored the area of the Aztec civilization because it was thought there was a large deposit of gold. He was sent because Spain wanted to be the richest country in the world at the time so, Cortes went to find wealth for Spain in the New World.
Edited answer by diyashroff: He conquered the Aztec empire in search of the 3g's gold, glory, and god.
Cortes began his march in February 1519 by landing 600 men on the Yucatan Peninsula. By all historical accounts, Cortes' "march" should actually be referred to as an invasion, a slow invasion, but an invasion nonetheless. During this march Cortes and his men conquered many indigenous tribes or made them allies. Once he arrived at the capital he wasted no time capturing Montezuma and holding him hostage so the Indians would not kill him and his men. However Montezuma thought that if Cortes freed his brother from jail he would set him free, so Montezuma asked Cortes too release his brother. Cortes set Montezuma's brother free but instead of helping his brother, he led a revolt which killed Montezuma and tons of Cortes' soldiers. The mighty Aztec empire disappeared around 1523 due in part to Cortes' invasion. During that time Cortes personally governed Mexico for several years.
This said, he was there to stop human sacrifice, convert the Indians, and to find gold.
