Escambray Mountains

Villa Clara - Santa Clara

Occupying part of the Villa Clara region, you’ll find the Escambray Mountains. Along its big slopes, sinuous pathways and persistence of forest areas, is a bastion for the last flocks of parrots (Amazona Leucocephala) that can be seen in the province. Amongst the birds one can also observe the Cuban Trogon, known as the national bird, woodpeckers and sparrowhawks.

Other representatives of the fauna of this ecosystem are the deer and the hutia congas and carabalies. At this place La Hanabanilla, the only intramountainous lake of Cuba can be found.
