The “Cortez and La Malinche” collectible sits inside one of Havana’s seven hidden secret chests in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced. It comes from The History of Tlaxcala and counts toward the city’s Secrets tally, moving your progress to 4/7 the moment you open the chest.
Quick answer: Head to the western-central residential district of Havana near map coordinates (208, 583), enter the courtyard through the arched entryways, and loot the blue-and-silver chest in the small back room flanked by two stone busts.

The chest is tucked into a residential building in the western-central part of Havana. On the map it appears as a chest icon at roughly (208, 583). The building has arched entryways leading into an interior courtyard, and the chest waits in a small back room past the corridors.

How to confirm you got it
When the chest opens, the game adds “Cortez and La Malinche” x1 to your collection and updates the Havana secrets counter to Secrets 4/7. If the counter does not advance, you likely opened a different loot container. Only the blue-and-silver secret chest flanked by the two busts counts toward that total.
This is one of seven secret chests spread across Havana. Clearing all of them takes the counter to 7/7, so track the tally after each pickup to see which locations you still have left.
