Colorados Archipelago

Islands and Archipelagos

Los Colorados Archipelago is a chain of small islands and cays strung along Cuba's north-western coast. A coral reef extending at least the length of the archipelago separates the chain from the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico, sheltering the cays behind it.
