General presentation
Everglades
Immense subtropical landscape of marshes, mangroves, alligators, birds and observation roads.
Everglades' discovery revolves around Anhinga Trail, Shark Valley and Flamingo. The stay thus alternates between natural spaces, riverscapes and the coastline, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: mosquitoes and humid heat. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Nature Trail
Anhinga Trail
Anhinga Trail crosses a marsh of the Everglades on easy footbridges and paths, with wildlife often visible at very short distance. Alligators, anhingas, herons and turtles appear in clear water or on the banks, especially during the dry season. For a first approach to the park, the trail offers direct immersion without long hikes.
Observation buckle
Shark Valley
Shark Valley runs a loop that gives a slow scale reading of the Everglades wet prairie, from the observation points to the flat silence of the plateau. By tram or bike, the interest comes from the transitions: vegetation, alligators, birds, low horizon line. It's a very structured way of feeling space.
Coastal sector
Flamingo
Flamingo marks the south end of the park road and makes it feel Everglades The landscape is more wild, with a feeling of distance from the more frequented northern accesses. It is touched by a coastal face of the sea, between bay and mangroves. Everglades, more open and austere.
Mangroves
Ten Thousand Islands
Ten Thousand Islands It's like a labyrinth of salt water, channels and islets, difficult to grasp from the ground. By boat or guided kayak, one understands the complexity of mangroves and the avifaunistic richness in one movement. It's another register of the park, very maritime.
