Program Details

Nature Tour "Birdwatching on the Soplillar Trail

Area values:¨Sendero Soplillar¨

This town is located 3 km from the east coast of the Bay of Pigs, on the road from Playa Larga to Playa Giron. This area is characterized by the existence of big forests, abundant vegetation and small but deep lagoons. The relief of the territory is flat in all its extension, characterized fundamentally by rocky grounds, and as main accidents we find small flooded caves.

The list of its ornitofauna amounts to 212 species, of which 86 are permanent residents of our country, 101 migratory and 25 bimodal residents. It is important to highlight that the endemism of 23 of them constitutes 95.8% of the endemic birds of our country. Six of the seven Cuban endemic genera and three local endemics are also found in this area: the ferminia (Ferminia cerverai), the gallinuela de Santo Tomás (Cyanolimnas cerverai) and the sub-species of the cabrerito de ciénaga (Torreornis inexpectata inexpectata).
