About Cuba
Cuba, the largest island in the Caribbean, lies where the Gulf of Mexico meets the Atlantic, just south of Florida. Its capital, Havana, grew rich as a Spanish colonial port, and its pastel facades and vintage cars remain iconic across the Americas. Beyond the cities, the island offers tobacco valleys, limestone hills, coral reefs, and a musical heritage — son, rumba, salsa — that has shaped rhythms worldwide.
- The bee hummingbird, the world's smallest bird at five to six centimeters long, is found only in Cuba.
- Cubans nickname their island El Caiman because its long, narrow shape resembles a caiman resting in the sea.
- Christopher Columbus reached Cuba on his first voyage in 1492 and claimed the island for Spain.
