Are you about to leave for Cuba? Let's find out more about its geaography, territories and sea.
Borders and territory
Cuba is the largest island of the Caribbean Archipelago.
North of Cuba there are the United States of America, 180 km far from the coast and separated from Cuba by the Strait of Florida. The Yucatan Channel is placed to the West, the Caribbean Sea to the South and the Sopravento Channel on the eastern part.
Althought the southern part of the island is surmounted by a mountain chain characterized by lush vegetation, the territory is mainly level. The coast are both high and rocky and short and sandy, but they are all characterized by wide bays which stand for beautiful natural harbors. Thanks to the narrow shape of Cuba, the rivers are short but full of water.
