Why did Columbus travel westward at lower lattitudes?

Columbus traveled westward at lower latitudes primarily to find a faster route to Asia by crossing the Atlantic Ocean. He believed that sailing west from Spain would lead him to the East Indies, where valuable spices and gold could be found. Additionally, the lower latitudes offered more favorable sailing conditions and better winds, which he hoped would facilitate his journey. Columbus underestimated the Earth's size and the distance to Asia, leading him to his eventual discovery of the Americas instead.
