Three new Cuban cave painting sites were found in a nature reserve in Imías municipality, Guantánamo province, this past February [2012], by a multidisciplinary scientific expedition organized by the Cuban Speleological Society’s Pedro Borrás Group.

As Dr. Efrén Jaimez Salgado, president of the Group, told Granma, the discovery takes on particular significance, given that the use of the color red was very rare in cave paintings in the country’s eastern region.

In fact, the prevailing view was that the use of red was linked to specific events in the lives of the original inhabitants.
