Cuba as a wonder of nature and human history, and as an absolutely unique place in the world

 

 

 

 

 

From Wikipedia

 Cuba was inhabited by Amerindian tribes before the landing of explorer Christopher Columbus in 1492, who claimed it for the Kingdom of Spain. Cuba remained a colony of Spain until the Spanish–American War of 1898, after which it gained nominal independence as a de facto U.S. protectorate in 1902. The fragile republic endured increasingly radical politics and social strife, and despite efforts to strengthen its democratic system, Cuba came under the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista in 1952.^[16][17][18] Growing unrest and instability led to Batista's ousting in January 1959 by the July 26 movement, which afterwards established a government under the leadership of Fidel Castro. Since 1965 the country has been governed by the Communist Party of Cuba.
Cuba is the largest island in the Caribbean and, with over 11 million inhabitants, the second-most populous after Hispaniola. It is a multiethnic country whose people, culture and customs derive from diverse origins, including the aboriginal Taíno and Ciboney peoples, the long period of Spanish colonialism, the introduction of African slaves, and a close relationship with the Soviet Union in the Cold War.
Cuba is ranked very high for human development by the United Nations, and high for health and education.^[19][20][21] In 2015, it became the first country to eradicate mother-to-child transmission of HIV and syphilis, a milestone hailed by the WHO as "one of the greatest public health achievements possible."^[22]

one of the most visited attractions in South America

 

 Peru has become the hot spot in South America and the darling of the traveling community. But it would be nowhere without its shining jewel, the Incan kingdom of Machu Picchu.
Hidden within the lush Peruvian mountains, this mystical city remained a secret for ages and now is the continent's best known archaeological site.
While some travelers choose a plush train ride to enjoy the view in comfort. Others choose to trek the original Inca Trail and after several days are delighted by the ruins that dot the terraces. But for all, a tremendous sense of wonder for ancient society can be felt.

softer side of alligator

Baby alligators are small cold-blooded pests that lurk underwater before rushing you with surprising speed, much like a full grown alligator would. Although they can only deal moderate damage, they may appear in packs, often in the company of a mature alligator. Baby alligators can be found in the Swamp.
