Review:
Everglades National Park is the biggest subtropical wild area in the States, a 1.5-million-acre wetlands located on the southern tip of Florida. It is a World Heritage Site and International Biosphere Reserve. The Everglades consists of coastal mangroves, pine flatwoods, and sawgrass marshes that provide a home to hundreds of species of animals, some of them rare and endangered such as the manatee, American crocodile, Florida panther, and leatherback turtle.
The best way to experience the magic of the Everglades is by taking a quiet walk along one of many boardwalk trails, a boat guided tour of the Ten Thousand Islands or Florida Bay, or a tram ride through fascinating Shark Valley. If you are lucky and patient, you might spot an alligator sunning itself on a log in addition to deer or one of many wading birds.
