Does anybody know some stories of interesting exploits of conquistadors and explorers in the new world?

Pretty much everything Cortes did in his expedition. Think about it - a few hundred men toppled a massive empire. The same goes for Pizarro. I really can't think of any other times in history when a similar thing happened.

They got lots of pussy, but it depends where they were. If it was caribbean likely rape victims, it counts as sex, and if youre a rapist it's probably fine. Mesoamerica women were more prude, but they got some mistresses from diplomatic marriages with lords and chieftains. Now South America, I'm just going to say look at Paraguay. That was insane.

1500 at the final stage of the conquest, before that they had to overcome many things, things that would probably have killed all of them if not for the capacity of the leaders

there was some pretty epic shit even before they went toe to toe with the aztecs.
All of this is memory, so forgive any errors.
The Tlaxcalans sought to end the Spanish interlopers once and for all. On the first day of battle, they sent 40,000 men. The Spanish had their 500ish men and about 2-3k native allies. Of course the gunpowder, crossbows, cavalry, and steel swords secured their victory. So they camped out on a hill during the night. The Tlaxcalans sent a sneaky force of 10,000 men to attack. Sentries discovered this, and the cannons routed them (of which there were around 6 deployed IIRC). The next day, Cortez recieved word of a massive force coming their way. 100,000 Tlaxcalans assembled. So Cortez ordered his infantry into a hexagonal fomartion, and they marched forward! And they won! And the most suprising thing of all is they emerged with just one Conquistador dead and a few wounded.

The best are Gonzalo Guerrero, Hernando de Soto and Orellana. Cortes and Pisarro are overrated.
