How close does the game get to the real place?

In the game

An island south-west of Jamaica hiding a huge abandoned Maya temple, one of the places Edward explores for treasure.

The real place

Real Providencia never had Maya temples; the game invents them. It was a Puritan colony in the 1630s and a pirate base under Henry Morgan. The smaller island of Santa Catalina is linked to it by a footbridge.

Visiting

Providencia is reached by small plane or catamaran from San Andrés. Walk across the Lover's Bridge to Santa Catalina and climb to Morgan's Head rock.
