"NATURE TOUR" Tour

Discover an extraordinary natural world just beyond the city of Morón, where the Great Wetland (Gran Humedal) and the nearby mountainous landscapes create one of the most diverse ecological regions in central Cuba. This vast territory—rich in wildlife, lush vegetation, and untouched scenery—invites visitors to explore an authentic, rugged side of Cuba that often goes unseen by traditional travelers. The Great Wetland, one of the largest and most important ecosystems in the country, stretches across an impressive expanse of marshes, lagoons, mangroves, and semi-submerged forests. This protected natural environment is home to a remarkable abundance of wildlife, including endemic bird species, freshwater fish, reptiles, and even Cuba’s emblematic crocodile. The wetland’s calm waters reflect the sky in endless shades of blue and green, creating a serene and immersive setting that feels worlds away from urban life.

Nature enthusiasts and eco-travelers will find the Great Wetland to be a true paradise. Guided excursions often include boat rides through tranquil channels, birdwatching tours at dawn or sunset, and visits to observation platforms where herons, spoonbills, flamingos, and other species gather in spectacular formations. The wetland’s biodiversity makes it one of Cuba’s premier destinations for wildlife photography, offering rare opportunities to capture animals in their natural habitat. Beyond the wetlands, the mountainous areas near Morón reveal a completely different, yet equally captivating, natural landscape. These gently rising hills and forested elevations offer panoramic views over the plains and wetlands below, providing a refreshing contrast to the low-lying marshlands. The area is dotted with hiking trails, lookout points, and hidden paths that lead visitors through native forests rich with local flora, medicinal plants, and vibrant birdlife.

Exploring the mountains near Morón immerses you in crisp air, peaceful surroundings, and the subtle sounds of nature. Along the way, you may encounter rural communities that preserve traditional Cuban ways of life—small farms, horseback riders traveling between villages, and families cultivating the land as generations have before. These authentic cultural encounters add depth and meaning to the natural experience. Whether you’re gliding through the Great Wetland’s mirror-like waters or hiking through the green foothills that border the region, the combination of wetlands and mountains near Morón offers an unforgettable journey into Cuba’s ecological heart. It is a destination for adventurers, photographers, birdwatchers, and anyone seeking genuine contact with nature.

The region’s blend of vibrant wildlife, scenic landscapes, and cultural authenticity makes it one of the most rewarding eco-excursions in central Cuba—an experience that reveals the true richness and diversity of the Cuban countryside.
