Cayo Coco Flamingo's
With its purpose built road after you have left Moron begins the long road surrounded by the sea on either side which is a remarkably good road and they seem to be repairing parts and replacing other places of the road. You are greeted by a huge yellow crowned building at the start of the road and then the road diminishes into the distance, as you approach Cayo Coco the sea is replaced by small lakes teaming with Flamingos.
Cayo Coco is another of Cuba’s purpose built resort complex where hotels are popping up every month with a view to rival Varadero as the main tourist islands in Cuba. Cayo Coco is the 4th largest Cuban island and the beaches are sublime along with food and drink available at the beach bars, be prepared to pay the same as at a hotel though and loungers can also be hired at the beach.
For nature enthusiasts like myself this is a haven for photographing and watching the wildlife go by, Flamingos a plenty, like lizards resting on rocks, and vultures search the roads as they do throughout Cuba, you are never far from one of these birds and Cuba has hundreds of them. There are also lots of different animals around Cayo Coco but I’m not sure that the so-called Flamingo Tours would be necessary based on there are three main places to see them and one of these seems to be no longer attracting them.
