Cuba's diverse wildlife stems from its unique natural history. Cuba was not originally in the Caribbean Sea but in the Pacific Ocean, where the island was situated 100 million years ago, before the forces of continental drift slowly brought it into the Caribbean. As the island migrated over the ages, an astonishing variety of life arrived by air, sea, and possibly by land bridges that may have once existed. Over time, these animals adapted to their new environment.

This isolation has contributed to an extraordinary high rate of biodiversity and endemism. Cuba, the largest island in the Greater Antilles, boats about 350 species of birds, 21 of those birds are endemic to the island, including the smallest bird in the world: the Bee hummingbird (Mellisuga helenae). Cuba is also a major stopover for migratory waterfowl birds

Authentic Cuba Travel's nature and bird watching tours represent a great opportunity for US professionals to explore Cuba's biodiversity and natural history. They are also a once-in-a-lifetime chance to get to know the Cuban people, music, food, architecture, and culture of Cuba.

Authentic Cuba Travel nature and bird watching Cuba tours are escorted by world class Cuban scholars, nature conservationist and university graduated tour guides.

Registrations are processed on a first come, first served basis and subject to availability.

Bella Travel Group Ltd. (Authentic Cuba Travel Group/ Hello Cuba Travel Group) is a full service travel agency based in Toronto, Canada that organizes cultural, educational and adventure tours for schools, NGOs, business and community groups.

Even though each year nearly 2 million tourists travel to Cuba, they hardly have the chance to get to know the authentic Cuba that lies beyond the confines of all-inclusive full-packed tourist resorts. Once back home, those travellers realize they have hardly "travelled" to Cuba. It might have been a nice and low cost package vacation from the cold weather, but they do not know much about Cuba's culture and its people.

Authentic Cuba Travel votes for a different kind of tourism for those travellers who demand more from their vacations. With over 24 fully escorted Cuba tours announced for 2012, ranging from educational and cultural to arts and architecture and festivals and events, Authentic Cuba Travel captures the Cuban identity that defines the island as a unique Caribbean nation.
