We take our first look at the Cayo Perico island and see what it has to offer and more importantly what El Rubio is stashing there!
Cayo Perico is a private island in Colombia that appears in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of The Cayo Perico Heist update.
Cayo Perico is considered one of the most secure private islands in the entire world, and the location of the remote island compound of the world’s most notorious drug dealer, El Rubio.[1] It also contains an untold fortune in art, gold and drug money, scattered across the island.
Cayo Perico is not only the nerve center of El Rubio’s drug empire, but also plays host to his other great love: marathon beach dance parties, where everyone from jetsetters and heiresses to legendary music producers gather to rave until the sun comes up.
The island first appeared in the "El Rubio Dossier" teaser released during the Los Santos Summer Special update, which contained views of three locations on the island, including a sprawling clifftop Spanish-style estate, a security tower and a farm.
Influence
The island appears to be based on Norman's Cay (a.k.a. Cayo Norman), a small Bahamian island used by the Medellín Cartel as a transshipment base for smuggling cocaine into the United States and as a private party island, while the estates and welcome sign are based on Hacienda Nápoles, a luxurious estate built and owned by Colombian drug lord and Medellín Cartel leader Pablo Escobar. Cayo Perico's airfield also bears strong resemblance to Norman's Cay Airport, as seen in the map from El Rubio Dossier teaser.
