Tour Overview
Cuba is a wonderful tropical island that boasts golden beaches, extensive wetlands, subtropical rainforests and temperate mountains. It is home to 25 or more endemics, and on our Cuba birding tour, we have the chance to see all of them.
We visit lowland forests, rice fields, mangrove swamps, and the exciting Zapata swamp, where we encounter trogons and todies, lizard-cuckoos and parakeets, the world’s smallest bird, the Bee Hummingbird, and we look for Zapata Sparrow, Zapata Wren, Bare-legged Owl and Gundlach’s Hawk.
The area around Camaguey and the delightful coastal area of Cayo Coco hold several endemics – Giant Kingbird, Cuban Gnatcatcher, and more. We also visit the cool mountains of west Cuba, where we search for Olive-capped Warblers, tanagers and honeycreepers whilst being serenaded by the beautiful flute-like song of the endemic Cuban Solitaire.
