Birding Days
Cuba
Eleven days moving from Pinar del Río highlands into the Zapata Biosphere, then east to Camagüey, the Najasa reserve, and the cays off Ciego de Ávila.
Havana
Cuba’s vibrant capital is a living museum where vintage cars roll past pastel-colored colonial buildings. Travelers are drawn to its electric energy, legendary nightlife, and the historic charm of Old Havana.
Las Terrazas · Soroa
Las Terrazas: This pioneering eco-village is a lush paradise for nature lovers and sustainable-travel enthusiasts. Visitors flock here to zip-line through the canopy, swim in refreshing river pools, and explore a thriving community of local artists. Soroa: Known as the "Rainbow of Cuba," this tropical oasis boasts a spectacular orchid garden and a stunning jungle waterfall. It is the perfect serene getaway for birdwatchers, hikers, and anyone looking to unwind in nature.
San Diego de los Baños
This peaceful town is historic for its healing thermal springs and serves as the gateway to the lush La Güira National Park. It is a fantastic off-the-beaten-path stop for travelers looking to combine traditional spa culture with world-class birding.
Bay of Pigs
Beyond its famous Cold War history, this area is a dream destination for divers and world-class birdwatchers due to its incredible biodiversity. Nature enthusiasts flock here to spot the Bee Hummingbird (the world's smallest bird) and other rare species in the massive Zapata Swamp.
Morón
Serving as the gateway to the northern keys, this charming town is known for its distinct rooster monument and vibrant street life. It offers a taste of authentic small-town Cuba and access to excellent freshwater fishing in nearby lakes.
Cayo Coco & Cayo Guillermo
These tropical islands are world-renowned for their postcard-perfect beaches and exceptional birding opportunities. Travelers come here to relax at luxury resorts and spot massive colonies of wild pink flamingos and diverse migratory birds in the coastal mangroves.
Camagüey
Famous for its labyrinthine streets and thriving art scene, this province also offers access to the Sierra de Najasa, a premier destination for birding enthusiasts. Travelers will love getting lost in the city's historic plazas and heading out to the reserve to spot rare species like the Giant Kingbird.

Excellent time in Cuba
We had a great experience with our Cuba 360 Bella Cuba tour. Daynel, our guide, was top-notch. For our week-long stay, we were drawn toward all the positive reviews, and they do not exaggerate...

Far More Than Expected!
My wife and I went on a ... Taste of Cuba Tour, covering the west half of the country... We covered all the natural, historic, cultural, and gastronomic attractions in the area. We had a great guide in Beberli ... I highly recommend this tour, especially if Beberli is the tour guide!
