Everglades National Park
A 100-mile long stretch of the southern tip of Florida’s
coast was designated as Everglades National Park in
an effort to protect and preserve the fragile and dying
ecosystem. As a direct result of man’s diversion of
water away from the lands that is now Everglades, the
diverse wildlife including both plant and animal
species was once threatened.
Now designated a World Heritage sight and with
international biosphere reserve status, this
subtropical wilderness is home to nearly a thousand
plant and bird species, as well as crocodiles,
manatees, and panthers.
Though you can visit limited parts of the park by car,
boating, canoing, and airboat rides are the only ways
to explore the backcountry.
Everglades will be your farthest destination, but your
adventure will continue back north with time to explore
Florida’s famed Disney World Theme Parks.
