Isla de la Juventud

Isla de la Juventud, formerly known as Pinos Isle, is an island featuring several ruins of Mayan origin. It is located in the Castillo de Jagua region of the Caribbean, lying south of west Cuba.

In 1716, the pirate Edward Kenway journeyed to the island to chase down Lucia Márquez, to acquire the Templar key she was carrying. Together with Master Assassin Opía Apito, he eliminated her army of Spanish troops, before chasing her through the island's ruins and eventually killing her.

Some time during his stay in the West Indies, Edward also visited the island to eliminate a group of graverobbers desecrating the ruins, as part of an assassination contract.
