Bird trip to Cuba (April 2019)

I spent ten days in Cuba from 14-24 April 2019 together with a friend. We arrived in Varadeiro on the 14th and moved on by taxi to La Habana where we spent the first 3 days of our trip. We then picked up our rented car at Habana airport and headed southwest to visit Las Terrazas, followed by La Guira National Park (San Diego de los Banos) and the Valley of Vinales. We then drove back towards La Habana and headed southeast to reach Playa Larga and the Zapata Swamp area (2 days). We then continued our road trip towards Trinidad and Topes de Collantes, before ending the week in the Cayos (Cayo Coco) via Moron.
