Covering a land area of 109,884 sq. km, Cuba is the largest country by land area in the Caribbean. With an area of 105,006 sq. km, the main island of Cuba is the 16th largest island in the world by land area. Several archipelagos (that include hound reds of island and cay’s) ring it’s coastline north and south. Isla de la Juventud (“Isle of Youth”) is the 2nd largest Cuban island and the 7th largest island in the West Indies.
As observed on the physical map of Cuba, Cuba’s land is relatively flat, flowing gradually into hills, including a few hills of limestone shown to the right. Cuba’s coastal areas are the most mountainous. In the Sierra de los Organos of the far-northwest, the landscape is hilly with a few lower mountains. In the southwest, the Sierra Maestra is a mountain range that rises sharply from the coast. Located there and marked by a yellow triangle, Pico Turquino at 6,650ft (1,999m), is the highest point in Cuba. Other mountain ranges of note are the Sierra Cristal (southeast), the Escambray Mountains (central) and the Sierra del Rosario in the northwest.
Considering its overall size, Cuba has little inland water areas. Those of note include Laguna de Leche at 67.2 sq. km (25.9 sq. mi), and the man-made Zaza Reservoir, at 113.5 sq. km (43.8 sq. mi). Cuba has nearly 200 small rivers as well as many narrow streams that run dry in summer. The country’s longest river is the Cauto; it flows for 230 mi (370 km) from its source in the Sierra Maestra.
