Where we bird

Three signature habitats—western highlands, Zapata wetlands, and eastern Cuba—woven into our field-tested itineraries.

Viñales Valley hills at dawn with lush tropical foliage

Western Cuba, Viñales & La Güira

Pinar del Río mogotes, the pristine La Güira National Park, Las Terrazas, and western endemics—the Bee Hummingbird, Cuban Tody, and trogons in limestone and forest country.

Zapata Wetlands

The UNESCO Ciénaga de Zapata holds more Cuban endemic birds than anywhere else on the island—and sectors such as Bermejas are renowned for some of the densest endemic concentrations per square kilometer in the Caribbean. Zapata Wren, sparrow, rails, flamingos, and both endemic owls.

Camagüey savannas, the Najasa reserve, Morón, and Cayo Coco & Guillermo for endemics across central and eastern Cuba.

Our guide was a walking encyclopedia of Cuban ornithology. We managed to see 26 of the 28 endemics in just one week. Unforgettable experience.

The logistics were perfect. As a US citizen, I was worried about the compliance, but Cuba 360 handled everything. I could just focus on my photography.

A truly boutique experience. The accommodations were far beyond what I expected for a birding tour. The food, the culture, and the birds were 10/10.
