Cuba is a favorite holiday destination among Russian tourists wishing to change the rainy, late autumn or cold winter to the tropical paradise of Liberty Island..This name is given to this state not by chance .The first part of the name is connected with the geographical features of the country, the territory of which consists of two large and huge number of small islands .The second - refers to the relatively recent past, the revolution, the legendary personality of Ernesto Che Guevara, the favorite of every new rising generation, and the odious Fidel Castro .

All the islands of Cuba are part of the Greater Antilles. This archipelago also includes other well-known to the whole world and popular among tourists places for rest. Haiti, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, along with Cuba, are one of the main "celebrities."

The largest island of the country has the same name as the entire state. The mere fact that the capital of the state - Havana is located there, speaks volumes. Juventud, the second largest, is located in the archipelago of Los Canaros. In Spanish, it means "island of youth". There are many pine forests, beautiful nature and good beaches. However, dangerous hurricanes periodically sweep away everything on their way and pose the main threat to residents and tourists.

Another island, part of Los Canarreos, is Cayo Largo .In addition to beach rest, here you can dive, as next to Largo, a lot of coral reefs .Jardines del Rey - archipelago in northern Cuba .Its islands are well-known resort zones .Cayo Coco, Cayo Guillermo, Cayo Santa Maria, Cayo Romano and Cayo Guajaba - the largest and most interesting to visit .The presence of an international airport on the island of Cayo Coco only adds pluses to rest..If the Jardines del Rey translates as "the gardens of the king," the Jardines de la Reina, an archipelago that captures two Cuban provinces, denotes "queen gardens" .

The territory of the "gardens" is the largest national park in Cuba, the favorite fishing place for Fidel Castro and a wonderful place for diving. The smallest archipelago of Cuba is Los Colorados. Its waters faithfully serve Cuban fishermen, giving lobsters, oysters and different varieties of fish. However, in addition to local, there are also tourists. Not all islands are suitable for beach holidays, but those that are, do not yield to the rest.

In total, the island of Cuba is surrounded by four archipelagos. Two - in the south and two - in the north.
