Extractions: Going down through the white water rafting or Río de Aguas Blancas is one of the most touching and well-demanded adventures for the tourists nowadays. The deepest river in Cuba is Toa (in the oriental part of the country) and it lets go down its water a little brave depending the part you choose. The Toa's affluents bring also particular interest. Most of these adventures specially in the most dangerous zones are made with specialized guides that their most important objective is to be awake for the tourists adventure security. Climbing: The Cuban land is a friendly place to spend free time walking through the great tropical vegetation, due to the healthful weather of the island and the existence of neither dangerous nor poisonous animals. In recent years, the trekking has been very important among the tourists who prefer being close to nature. There are important touristic places in which trekking is practiced and they are located in "Viñales Valley" and "Soroa", where you can also find all the comfort the tourists deserve.

Extractions: Cuba, part of the West Indies, is situated within the Antilles Archipelago and is the 15th largest island in the world. It consists of one large island and numerous smaller islands, islets, and cays. Located in the Atlantic Ocean, it lies just 90 miles south of the tip of Florida. Cuba extends approximately 777 miles from east to west and has a width of 19 miles in the northeast to 119 miles in the southeast. About one fourth of the total land area is mountainous, with three distinct mountain systems. The most extensive system, the Sierra Maestra, runs east west and includes the Real del Turquino Peak, which at 6,476 feet above sea level is the country's highest point. The small central system consists of low ranges and hills and the western system, the Cordillera de Guaniguanico is a region of rugged mountains and hills. The majority of Cuba is made up of plains and basins and the country's longest river is the Cauto River. Located in the southeast, it stretches 230 miles and is the country's primary inland waterway. Cuba has a semi-tropical climate with an average temperature of 79 F. The two seasons in Cuba are the dry season from November to April and the wet season from May to October. Annual precipitation, mostly from tropical storms, averages 54 inches. Hurricanes that occur during the wet season can be devastating.

La Habana Pronunciation Key , city (1997 est. pop. 2,200,000), capital of both Cuba and of Ciudad de la Habana prov., W Cuba; largest city and chief port of the West Indies and one of the oldest cities in the Americas. Havana is the political, economic, and cultural center of Cuba . An important hub of air and maritime transportation, it is the focal point of Cuban commerce, exporting sugar, tobacco, and fruits and importing mainly foodstuffs, cotton, and machinery and technical equipment. Industries include shipbuilding, assembly plants, rum distilleries, sugar refineries, and factories making the famous Havana cigars. Tourism has been greatly revived in the 1990s as Cuba redirects its economic model from central planning toward a mixed economy. The city's hot, humid climate is moderated by sea winds. French and Indian Wars , Havana fell to Anglo-American forces, but the following year it was returned to Spain in exchange for the Floridas. By the early 19th cent., the city ranked as one of the wealthiest and busiest commercial centers in the Western Hemisphere.

Extractions: Ask students what images, names, or events come to mind when they think about Cuba. Write their answers on the chart paper. If students have difficulty, you may want to prompt them to mention Fidel Castro, Elián González, Communism, or the Bay of Pigs. As a class, look over your list and consider what some of these items reveal about the relationship between Cuba and the United States. After a brief discussion, explain that the U.S. has had a long, complicated, and often tense relationship with Cuba, which lies only 90 miles from Florida. It has been ruled by a Communist government since 1959. (See the definition of

Extractions: Geography Sea Bottoms Warm, gentle, crystal clear waters surround the Cuban archipelago. The mild tides and no strong currents of its waters, their virgin condition, the non polluted and well-preserved bottoms and the diversity of its underwater flora and fauna may be some of the reasons why so many diving lovers come to Cuba. The Cuban reef forms a submarine string of coral around the entire archipelago, both north and south of the island. It is made up mainly of full-grown corals. Rocky buttresses of different structures are shaped by these corals, some incredibly resembling gothic pillars or majestic castles. They are the habitat and shelter of other marine species like sponges in the guise of cups, tubes or branches; sumptuous gorgonians that sway with the waves; algae of capricious growth, and in the crevices and pits: octopus, sea urchins, starfish, polychetes and crustaceans.

Extractions: The founding of Havana was also the occasion for the first Catholic mass, which was performed underneath a massive silk-cotton tree. On the same site there is now a colonial building that houses a collection of paintings by the French artist Jean Baptiste Vermay, who roamed the Island and captured on canvas the images of early colonial life. The Centre of Old Havana, proclaimed in 1982, a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, preserves nearly intact the historic legacy of colonial times, both in its architecture and its customs. Illness hitherto unknown in the New World combined with slavery conditions in the exploitation of the riches of Cuba caused the near extinction of the aboriginal Indocubans during the early years of colonization. The fast disappearing labour force prompted the Spanish to import African slaves from all over the vast continent, the largest numbers, however, originated from West Africa, today Nigeria. Due to their numbers, the Yoruba influence left a marked imprint on Cuban customs and even today their religion, mixed with Catholic and other rites, known as Santeria or the Rule of Ocha, is practised in certain areas of Havana and other parts of the country.

Extractions: Christopher Columbus, in his quest to find a westward route to India stumbled on the territories of America, a continent then unknown to the Europeans, and reached the shores of Cuba on October 27, 1492, where he is reported to have said "this is the most beautiful land my eyes have ever seen." Columbus spent several weeks navigating along the Cuba's north coast without realizing it was an island. Convinced he had discovered the East Indies he returned to Europe and went back to Cuba two years later. It was only in 1508, after another explorer, Sebastián de Ocampo circumnavigated it, that it was discovered that Cuba was an island. Velázquez established seven garrison towns along the Island: Baracoa, Santiago, Bayamo, Camagüey, Sancti Spíritus, Trinidad and Batabanó. Because of the Islands location it became "the Key to the Gulf" and the stopping-off point for the Spanish conquistadors going to or returning from Central and South America. Batabanó briefly became the principal stopping-off point for the Spanish Fleet until Havana, a better natural harbour, was discovered due north of Batabanó. Havana then became a flourishing trading post as increasing numbers of ships, on their way to Europe, stopped to take supplies for the journey as well as goods to trade with the Europeans. In 1925, after several ineffectual presidents, Gerardo Machado took power and established a harsh dictatorial regime that would last for 8 years until the deteriorating economy provided the opportunity for his overthrow, on August 12, 1933, by the same military establishment and U.S.-based interests that had supported him in the past. One of the engineers of the overthrow of Machado was Fulgencio Batista who, with U.S. backing, governed Cuba until 1944. Batista again seized power in another coup in 1952, and quickly established another brutal and repressive dictatorial regime. In reaction to Batista's oppression, new revolutionary movements started to spring across the Island. These were formed by students, labour organizations, intellectuals, the middle-class, farmers and peasants.

Cuba's communist revolution, with Soviet support, was exported throughout Latin America and Africa during the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. The country is now slowly recovering from a severe economic recession following the withdrawal of former Soviet subsidies, worth $4 billion to $6 billion annually, in 1990. Havana blames its difficulties on the US embargo in place since 1962. Geography [Top of Page] Location: Caribbean, island between the Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, south of Florida
