What In The World Is A Conquistador? A CONQUISTADOR (kon-KEE-stah-dor) is a Spanish explorer who searched for wealth and land in the Americas. Conquistador! Sounds like the name of a potato chip, doesn’t it? “Enjoy a big bag of Conquistadors while watching the game this Saturday!” OK. Hat or portable chip bowl? Who are they trying to fool?

So…What’s So Desirable About The New World???????? FORTUNES: Riches and wealth in the form of land, resources and the potential for “ GOLD ”. OPPORTUNITIES: A chance to become a landowner and/or “ NOBILITY ”. CHALLENGES: The New World had to be conquered, so it presented “ ADVENTURE ”.

Expeditions The European Explorers, which included the Conquistadors (still sounds like a snack food to me) accomplished their goals by going on EXPEDITIONS, which are long journeys with a specific purpose in mind.
