Introduction
Cayo Coco Located about 45 miles to the north of Moron, Cayo Coco is a spectacular island, spanning more than 220 square miles.
To get there, you can take the man made road built right in the middle of the Caribbean Sea and more precisely, the archipelago of Camguey.
You'll find yourself in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by paradise, with the panorama of the Sea and pink flamingos before you, and with the sad feeling that human vanity pushes us to build monuments whose only use is the comfort of tourists.
On the island the zebus, pigs and wild horses are the only creatures that actually appear free, surrounded by remarkable flora and fauna that are appreciated by naturalists and ornithologists from all over the world.
This is also the location of the largest colony of pink flamingos in the world. In the spring, great numbers of them come to the island for mating season. They spend the rest of their time with their heads under the water eating and filtering the plankton and the carotene that gives them their pink color.
