Cuba, “the key to the Gulf" and “pearl of the Caribbean" washes its shores on the Caribbean Sea to the south and the Atlantic Ocean to the north. Cuba is in fact an archipelago which includes more than 4,100 small coral cays and islets that emerge from an insular shelf of almost 70,000 square kilometres and contains over 200 bays and 300 beaches. Under the oceans surface lie impressive cliffs and valleys, 3,400 km of corals, endless caverns, many thousands of crustaceans and molluscs, more than 700 types of fish, 300 species of sponges, and no less than five different turtles not to mention the dolphins and sharks. |
