Isla de la Juventud

Pinos Isle

Pinos Isle, also known as Isla de la Juventud, 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 guards, 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.

Trivia

• Despite the island's name, it did not seem to possess an unusual number of pine trees.
• The island is referred to as "Juventud" several times during the early 18th century, although it was not officially referred to as such until 1978.
