Did a day trip to El Baga, it was beautiful. Totally worth going, very taken back by the National Parks Beauty. More

We were soooo looking forward to heading here when we were at Tryp in April. First of all, the hotel had no idea if the bus would even stop there. Second of all, the bus driver and guide didn't even know if it was open, but they were willing to stop to check it out for us. The downside was,... More

I was surprised to find a review as recently as Dec 2010, we had a quick look round ( an unofficial visit ) and assumed that the park had been permanently closed, It was a bit like Jurrasic park 2, the buildings were derilict and in the process of being reclaimed by nature, the boardwalks were rotting away and had...

Based on other reviews, it seems that there are two types of guided visits at the park. We paid 15 CUC per person, didn't have the truck drive or the coconut or the chance to hold animals. But it was an interesting visit anyway, especially in a day when the weather didn't allow for sunbathing or the beach. We have... More

After reading all the reviews for El Baga, my friends and i (6 of us, all in our early 20s) thought it would be a great opportunity to learn more about Cayo Coco's history and to be able to take pictures with animals. When we asked our Rep about the park, she told us to just take the local bus... More

t's a tour, just 20 minutes from the hotel by car, duration 2,5 - 3 hours. Excellent way to spend time interacting with wild life. You could actually touch animals and take pictures. Animal keepers are very friendly. Kids were delighted visiting Cuban rancho. It is great place for bird watching. Please bring some tips for tour guide & keepers... More

El Baga Natural Park, located on the northwestern tip of Cayo Coco. You won't hear about the El Baga from your travel rep at the resort because it's a national park and they do not pay commissions to the travel reps. Thus, the travel rep has no incentive to tell you about this wonderful - not to be missed -... More

Group rate is $20pp including bus, or take a taxi for $10 round trip, and pay only $10pp to get in. Admission also includes a fresh-cut coconut for refreshment during your tour, and a fresh fruit drink at the end. Going on your own (not with a group) means you get a tour guide for yourself, and can chat endlessly... More
