A small island within Cuba



Havana, Oct 11 (Prensa Latina) The Isle of Youth is quite an interesting destination in Cuba, with a history full of work, beauty and kindness of its people who are currently welcoming visitors with a smile, despite domestic plights.

It is considered one of the most interesting spots in the archipelago, previously named Treasure Island and Isle of Pines, but above all it has the perfect charm for ecotourism tours.

We are referring to a small Caribbean island, covering a 3,556 km area. It has over 600 keys and islets that make up of the Canarreos Archipelago, in the south-western portion of the nation, next to the Gulf of Batabanó, about 50 kilometers off south and 162 kilometers off La Havana.

The Isle of Youth was discovered and baptized as La Evangelista by the Genoese explorer Christopher Columbus on June 13, 1494, during his second trip to the New World.
