Jardines de la Reina (English: Gardens of the Queen) is an archipelago in the southern part of Cuba, in the provinces of Camagüey and Ciego de Ávila.
It was named by Christopher Columbus to honour the Queen of Spain, Isabella I of Castile. Since 1996 a marine reserve was established covering a large swath of the archipelago.[2] In 2010, Jardines de la Reina was established as a national park (Spanish: Parque Nacional Jardines de la Reina).[3] With an area of 2,170 km2 (840 sq mi), it is one of Cuba's largest protected areas.[1]
