Iguana Island, Cuba

Hello Hivers

Iguana Island, Cuba

I generally don't do group tours when traveling, but this was well worth it.
A catamaran took a couple dozen of us to a small nature reserve called Cayo Iguana.
Plenty of dolphins escorted the catamaran and we stopped along the way and snorkeled for a while at a reef. Numerous colourful fish and coral were seen. We ... ....

finally arrived at the dock.
There are no facilities just the thatch roof with some picnic tables for a delicious lunch we would be served later that day.
True to it's name the iguanas were everywhere.
They are known as the Cuban Rock Iguana, or just Cuban Iguana. The guide will give you leaves to feed them, being herbivores they don't want tourists to....

be bringing any food to feed them.
They are quite accustomed to people and are easy subjects for a pic. During lunch they climb right up on the table and have to be persuaded to leave.....

Another animal to greet you is the Hutia, a type of rodent. There are about 20 different species of them and many just call them tree rats. They are a food source for the Cuban people.
It was....

an exciting and interesting day.
I highly recommend taking the tour and would....

What a beautiful place.

In one of my next trips I intend to go to Cuba, the Caribbean sea is sensational, the shades of blue, the white sand, the blue sky and strong sun.

These group tours sometimes bring us good experiences, and yours seems to have been one.

Thanks for the photos

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! I really like Cuba...excellent price, was a great time. We went to a town called Trinidad, small, only a few hotels there, not touristy at all....
