Cayo Guillermo/Cayo Coco Cuba

Hi: Pratincol

I had a great vacation there in Oct, 2008. The area has a number of Cuban endemics, and it is very easy to get about on the cays. However, to see some of the special birds I used a local guide, Paulino Lopez Delgado who was excellent. His address was: Edif 3. Apto 23, Turiguano, MORON, Ciego de Avila, Cuba.
I contacted him through e-mail to the hotel, to Gelly Estevez, Customer Service Department at the Hotel Tryp Cayo Coco, who knew him well, at jefe.cac.tcc@solmeliacuba.com.
Not sure if this is still correct, but worth a try.
Contact me with a PM if you need more.

Regards

Tony Johnson
