Geocache Description:

Vítejte v Las Tunas / Welcome in  Las Tunas
 



Las Tunas je jedna z provincií Kuby. Velká města jsou Puerto Padre a Amancio. Hlavním mestěm je, Las Tunas (někdy známé jen jako Tuna, a historicky pojmenované Victoria de Las Tunas). Provincie Las Tunas byla založena v roce 1976, když došlo k rozdělení provincie Oriente.

Jižní pobřeží, které se otevírá do zálivu Guacanayabo je velmi bažinaté a vyznačuje se velkým množstvím mangrove (tropický porost bahnomilných rostlin na pobřeží). Tato mokrá oblast se používá pro růst cukrové třtiny a také vlhké podnebí přispívá k růstu této plodiny.

Rozvoj Las Tunas nastal kolem roku 1976 kdy došlo k propojení města silnící až do Havany.

Keš Vás zavede k zajímavému památníku. Přeji pěkný úlovek.

English version
Las Tunas is one of the provinces of Cuba. Major towns include Puerto Padre and Amancio, as well as the capital, Las Tunas (sometimes known just as Tuna, and historically named Victoria de Las Tunas). The Las Tunas province was established in 1976, when it was split from the 'Oriente Province.

The southern coast, which opens onto the Gulf of Guacanayabo, is marshy and characterised by mangroves. This wet area is used to grow sugarcane, as the wet climate is well suited for the crop. Cattle are also grazed in the province, which was, until 1975, part of the Oriente province that was divided into five smaller provinces by the Cuban government.

The city of Las Tunas was just a small market town until that year, and a large development program was started to modernise the town and connect it by road to Havana.

The cache will take you to an interesting monument. Have a nice catch.
