Cuba, officially the Republic of Cuba, is an island country, comprising the island of Cuba, Isla de la Juventud, archipelagos, 4,195 islands and cays surrounding the main island.

Located where the northern Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, and Atlantic Ocean meet, and it is east of the Yucatán Peninsula (Mexico), south of both Florida and the Bahamas, west of Hispaniola (Haiti/Dominican Republic), and north of Jamaica and the Cayman Islands, with Havana being the largest city and capital.

With the entire island south of the Tropic of Cancer, the local climate is tropical, moderated by northeasterly trade winds that blow year-round. The temperature is also shaped by the Caribbean current, which brings in warm water from the equator.

In the heart of the Caribbean, Cuba is home to stunning beaches, mountains, waterfalls, incredible festivals, historic forts and the Caribbean’s premiere art scene. Puff on Cuban cigars or cruise down the Havana streets in a classic car for a true taste of the good life.
