It is not known whether Ulloa accompanied Cortés on his first expedition to the New Spain.
In 1539, at the private expense of Cortés, he embarked an expedition in three small vessels, sailing north from Acapulco to explore the Pacific Coast and seek the mythical Strait of Anián that supposedly led to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, provind a route of the Northwest Passage.
