Caguanes National Park: Sighting of the endangered Cuban black hawk

Caguanes National Park: Sighting of the endangered Cuban black hawk About 30 kilometers from the city of Yaguajay, in the province of Sancti Spíritus, lies a place that seems frozen in time: Caguanes National Park. Its territory encompasses portions of land and sea, more than 10 caves, and a system of keys and islets known as Cayos de Piedra. However, what is most striking for many visitors and nature experts are its rock formations, shaped over centuries by water erosion. Instead of white sand beaches, there are cliffs and mangroves that create a unique ecosystem. Caves such as Cueva Grande and Cueva de Los Chivos boast archaeological evidence of the area’s indigenous peoples, including Taíno pictographs. The caves also served as a refuge for privateers and smugglers during the colonial era, adding a touch of legend to the place. Biodiversity in its purest form Recently, a new sighting of the endemic Cuban [...]

Artificial intelligence will redefine travel in 2026 Photo: Tara Winstead/ Pexels By: Rachell Cowan Canino The year 2026 will be remembered as the year artificial intelligence (AI) became the central focus of the global tourism industry. What once required hours of searching across multiple platforms is now resolved in seconds thanks to algorithms that anticipate travelers' desires. According to the Simon-Kucher's Global Travel Trends 2026 report, 35% of travelers already use AI tools to plan their routes, a figure that jumps to 50% among Generation Z. In Asian markets, penetration reaches 60-80%, paving the way for the rest of the world. Precedence Research forecasts that the market for generative AI applied to travel will reach $5.8 billion by 2032, driven by its ability to predict fares, recommend accommodation and optimize expenses. The main transformation lies in hyper-personalization. Tools like ChatGPT and Gemini are eroding traffic from traditional searches on [...]
