On this trip from Varadero, you'll be taken to the Ciénaga de Zapata National Park, the most important wetland of the insular Caribbean.

Description

At the scheduled time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Varadero to begin the journey to Ciénaga de Zapata National Park. After approximately 2 hours, we will reach the largest wetland in the insular Caribbean and start a 2.5-kilometre hiking route to explore this unique ecosystem, which has been declared a Nature Reserve by UNESCO.

During the trip, we will observe the native mangroves that protect the coastline and host a diverse range of wildlife, including 258 species of birds, 43 types of reptiles, and 15 mammals. Informative insights about these creatures will be provided.

Next, we will visit La Cueva de los Peces Cenote for a refreshing swim, followed by a typical Cuban lunch.

After lunch, we will explore the Bernabé Garden to view both native and migratory birds, with the possibility of spotting species like Zapata wrens, St. Thomas hens, and flamingos.

Our final stop will be at a crocodile farm to observe these reptiles in their habitats.

This 11-hour tour will conclude as we return to the starting point.
