Many Aztecs believed that the arrival of the Spanish might be linked to prophecies about the return of Quetzalcoatl, a significant deity in their mythology.

The Spanish believed the Strait of Anián, also known as the Strait of Anian, was located in North America, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. This mythical strait was thought to be a shortcut for trade routes and was often associated with the search for the Northwest Passage. Explorers sought it as a means to facilitate trade with Asia, but it ultimately turned out to be a figment of their imagination rather than an actual navigable passage.
Hernando wanted to explore the Strait of Anian, because he can go to Asia to trade for spices and silk. But in 1535, he reached what he thought was an island and claimed it for Spain. As a result, Cortes never found the Strait of Anian. In June 1542, Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo set out to look for it.

The Narrow Waterway of Anian, often referred to as the Strait of Anian, is a hypothetical passage believed to connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans through North America. It was a subject of interest during the Age of Exploration, as explorers sought a northwest passage to facilitate trade. Despite its initial promise, no such waterway was found, and it is now understood that North America is a solid landmass without a navigable strait in that location. The concept has been largely replaced by the discovery of routes like the Bering Strait and the Panama Canal, which serve similar purposes.
