Havana. General Information
Havana is the capital city, province, major port, and leading commercial centre of Cuba. The city proper has a
population of 2.1 million inhabitants, and it spans a total of 728.26 km2 (281.18 sq mi) − making it the largest city
by area, the most populous city, and the third largest metropolitan area in the Caribbean region. The city extends
mostly westward and southward from the bay, which is entered through a narrow inlet and which divides into
three main harbours: Marimelena, Guanabacoa and Atarés. The sluggish Almendares River traverses the city from
south to north, entering the Straits of Florida a few miles west of the bay.
Havana was founded by the Spanish in the 16th century and due to its strategic location it served as a springboard
for the Spanish conquest of the continent becoming a stopping point for the treasure laden Spanish Galleons on
the crossing between the New World and the Old World. King Philip II of Spain granted Havana the title of City
in 1592. Walls as well as forts were built to protect the old city. The sinking of the U.S. battleship Maine in
Havana's harbor in 1898 was the immediate cause of the Spanish-American War.
Contemporary Havana can essentially be described as three cities in one: Old Havana, Vedado, and the newer
suburban districts. The city is the center of the Cuban Government, and home to various ministries, headquarters
of businesses and over 90 diplomatic offices. The current mayor is Marta Hernández from the Communist Party of
Cuba (PCC). In 2009, the city/province had the 3rd highest income in the country.
The city attracts over a million tourists annually, the Official Census for Havana reports that in 2010 the city was
visited by 1,176,627 international tourists, a 20.0% increase from 2005. The historic centre was declared a UNESCO
World Heritage Site in 1982. The city is also noted for its history, culture, architecture and monuments.

History of Havana
Conquistador Diego Velázquez de Cuéllar founded Havana on August 25, 1515 or 1514, on the southern coast of the island, near the
present town of Surgidero de Batabanó, or more likely on the banks of the Mayabeque River close to Playa Mayabeque. All attempts to
found a city on Cuba's south coast failed, however an early map of Cuba drawn in 1514 places the town at the mouth of this river.[15][16]
Between 1514 and 1519 the Spanish established at least two different settlements on the north coast, one of them in La Chorrera, today in
the neighborhood of Puentes Grandes, next to the Almendares River. The town that became Havana finally originated adjacent to what
was then called Puerto de Carenas (literally, "Careening Bay"), in 1519. The quality of this natural bay, which now hosts Havana's harbor,
warranted this change of location.
Pánfilo de Narváez gave Havana - the sixth town founded by the Spanish on Cuba - its name: San Cristóbal de la Habana. The name
combines San Cristóbal, patron saint of Havana, and Habana, of obscure origin, possibly derived from Habaguanex, a native American
chief who controlled that area, as mentioned by Diego Velásquez in his report to the king of Spain. Shortly after the founding of Cuba's
first cities, the island served as little more than a base for the Conquista of other lands.
The city was captured by the British during the Seven Years' War. The episode began on June 6, 1762, when at dawn, a British fleet,
comprising more than 50 ships and a combined force of over 11,000 men of the Royal Navy and Army, sailed into Cuban waters and
made an amphibious landing east of Havana.[19] The British immediately opened up trade with their North American and Caribbean
colonies, causing a rapid transformation of Cuban society. Less than a year after Havana was seized, the Peace of Paris was signed by the
three warring powers thus ending the Seven Years' War. The treaty gave Britain Florida in exchange for the city of Havana on the
recommendation of the French, who advised that declining the offer could result in Spain losing Mexico and much of the South
American mainland to the British.[20]
After regaining the city, the Spanish transformed Havana into the most heavily fortified city in the Americas. Construction began on
what was to become the Fortress of San Carlos de la Cabaña, the third biggest Spanish fortification in the New World after Fort San
Cristobal ( The biggest ) and Fort San Felipe del Morro both in San Juan, Puerto Rico. On January 15, 1796, the remains of Christopher
Columbus were transported to the island from Santo Domingo. They rested here until 1898, when they were transferred to Seville's
Cathedral, after Spain's loss of Cuba.
As trade between Caribbean and North American states increased in the early 19th century, Havana became a flourishing and
fashionable city. Havana's theaters featured the most distinguished actors of the age, and prosperity among the burgeoning middle-class
led to expensive new classical mansions being erected. During this period Havana became known as the Paris of the Antilles.

Maria La Gorda. General Information
Most attractions are to be found in rural or natural settings. A major destination is the Viñales Valley, a karstic depression located in the
Sierra de los Organos, north of the town of Viñales. Designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1999 because of its natural beauty,
the valley is a popular hiking and rock climbing location. Many of the valley's surrounding hills are dotted with caves which may be
explored by visitors
Another major tourist destination in the province was Las Terrazas, a unique model village located 20 kilometer northeast of Soroa and,
from 2011, part of the new Artemisa Province. Surrounded by mountains, the village was founded in 1971 as part of rural development
and reforestation project which spans 5,000 ha (12,355 acres). As in other parts of the province, there are several hiking trails which
weave through the surrounding mountains.
With around 30 diving sites it is one of Cuba's premier scuba diving destinations. María la Gorda beach, which boasts many nearby
dive sites (as close as 200 m (220 yd) from the shore).

Puerto Morelos. General Information
Puerto Morelos is a town and sea port in Quintana Roo, Mexico's easternmost state, on the Yucatán
Peninsula. The town is at the southern end of the municipality of Benito Juárez in the northeast of
the state, about 36 km south of the resort city of Cancún. The marine terminal at Puerto Morelos is
the largest and most important sea port in the state of Quintana Roo.
It has historically been the main port between the mainland of Yucatán and the Island of Cozumel. The town is named after
Independence leader José María Morelos. One hundred meters off shore lies the Puerto Morelos portion of the Mesoamerican Barrier
Reef System, designated as a National Marine Park due to local environmental activists.
In Puerto Morelos tranquility reigns with open skies, long stretches of beach and a small town atmosphere. This is the place to come and
relax: watch the sunrise on the beach, meet the locals, explore the natural wonders such as the coral reef 500 meters from shore, work on
your tan, or simply soak up the serenity. Wedged between the bustling cities of Cancun and Playa del Carmen, it has maintained its
peaceful atmosphere of a charming Mexican fishing village living up to its nickname “La Joya del Caribe”. Its close proximity to the
airports and bus terminals makes Puerto Morelos a perfect base for exploring the Yucatan peninsula.
