La r\u00e9publique de Cuba<\/span>, principal archipel des Grandes Antilles, mesure 1250 km de long (entre le cap San Antonio et le cap Mais\u00ed). Elle est situ\u00e9e dans la mer des cara\u00efbes.<\/div>\n
En comptant l’\u00eele de la Jeunesse et les quelque 1600 \u00eelots et cayos qui font partie de l’archipel, Cuba a une superficie de 110 992 km². <\/div>\n
Les Bahamas flottent \u00e0 140 km environ, Ha\u00efti est \u00e0 77 km \u00e0 l’est, la Jama\u00efque \u00e0 140 km au sud, et Key West, en Floride, \u00e0 148 km au nord.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Le paysage cubain est une longue succession de plaines fertiles entrecoup\u00e9es de quelques cha\u00eenes de montagnes. La principale et la Sierra Maestra, qui longe la c\u00f4te sud de l’\u00eele. Elle est domin\u00e9e par le Pico Turquino, le sommet le plus \u00e9lev\u00e9 de Cuba (1972 m d’altitude). Dans la province de Sancti Sp\u00edritus, les montagnes majestueuses de l’Escambray descendent doucement dans la plaine sur le flanc nord, et tombent abruptement dans les Cara\u00efbes cot\u00e9 sud.<\/div>\n
\u00c0 l’ouest de Cuba, la cordill\u00e8re Guaniguanico se distingue par une topographie unique : les mogotes, de gros monticules qui surgissent \u00e7\u00e0 et l\u00e0 de la vall\u00e9e de Vi\u00f1ales. A une heure de route de La Havane, vers l’ouest, les pentes douces de la Sierra de los Organos et celles du Rosario sont parcourues par de nombreux sentiers, ruisseaux et cascades.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Ces montagnes abritent de nombreux parcs naturels provinciaux et nationaux et des r\u00e9serves qui regorgent de grottes, rivi\u00e8res, lacs et for\u00eats, et qui servent d’habitat \u00e0 la faune et \u00e0 la flore tropicales. L’arbre roi de Cuba est le palmier, qui symbolise la force.<\/div>\n
300 esp\u00e8ces d’oiseaux vivent \u00e0 Cuba toute l’ann\u00e9e et de nombreux migrateurs s’y r\u00e9fugient l’hiver. Parmi les esp\u00e8ces end\u00e9miques on peut citer le conure, le todier ou encore le trogon de Cuba.<\/div>\n
C\u00f4t\u00e9 faune, il y a le colibri iris\u00e9, de la taille d’un bourdon, qui virevolte d’hibiscus en mariposa, la fleur symbole de l’\u00eele. Le meilleur endroit pour observer les oiseaux est la p\u00e9ninsule de Zapata dans la province de Matanzas. On peut \u00e9galement y voir un \u00e9levage de crocodiles.<\/div>\n
La c\u00f4te cubaine, longue de 5746 km, est bord\u00e9e de pr\u00e8s de 300 plages pour nager, faire de la plong\u00e9e et p\u00eacher. Cuba a m\u00eame un d\u00e9sert, dans la province de Guant\u00e1namo, o\u00f9 poussent de nombreuses esp\u00e8ces de cact\u00e9es.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
