Where do you find the Isle of Youth?
Explanation
The Isle of Youth, known in Spanish as Isla de la Juventud, is the second-largest island in the Cuban archipelago. It is located approximately 50 to 100 kilometers south of the main island of Cuba, situated across the Gulf of Bataban3. Historically referred to as the Isle of Pines (Isla de Pinos) until 1978, it is the largest island within the Canarreos Archipelago. Geographically, it lies almost directly south of Havana and Pinar del R3o. Administratively, it is designated as a Special Municipality of Cuba, meaning it is governed directly by the central government rather than being part of any specific province. The island is a significant part of the West Indies and is the seventh-largest island in that region.
