I was the most excited about heading two hours west of Havana to the rural are of Viñales, known for limestone hills called Mogotes. The Hotel Jasmine did not disappoint with its spectacular views of the valley. Birding in this region included navigating many pigs who were always more curious than threatening. Birds in this region included the Cuban Tody, Cuban Pygmy Owl, Cuban Trogon, Great Lizard Cuckoo, Yellow Headed Warbler and the Olive Capped Warbler.
