On our first trip to Cuba in February / March 2014 we had visited the Escambray Mountains near Cienfuegos in the middle of the island for a few days. We thought the area needed further exploration and decided to come back and spend more time here on our latest trip in March 2017. We had been warned that it would likely be very dry but in 2014 at the same time we had encountered rain and everything was quite green so we thought we would take the chance especially as we would be quite high up. As it turned out there had been little rain for many months so it definitely wasn’t the best time to go for butterflies. Despite that we managed to see 65 species as well as some good birds and reptiles. It just means that at some point we will need to come back here in the wetter summer months.
We flew from London Gatwick to Habana arriving on the evening of 13 March 2017 and transferred to our hotel for the night, the Hotel Copacabana by the beach in the centre of the city.
