Le Parc National des Everglades (Homestead)

The entrance is in Homestead, south of Miami. Everglades National Park is a large part of the Everglades managed and protected by the US federal government. We pay about twenty dollars per car to get in. The landscapes are very varied along a road leading south to Florida Bay (where the Keys Islands begin).

Everglades National Park in Florida

On the southern tip of Florida State, Everglades National Park is simply unique in the world. Here, a gigantic subtropical swamp spreads its mangrove swamp over more than 6000km2, a privileged refuge for sometimes rare and protected animal species; pelicans, marsh owls, flamingos, herons, egrets, waders, raccoons (beware, they can be aggressive and carriers of rabies), turtles, otters, lamantins, snakes (26 species, including 4 poisonous ones) and spiders of all kinds. It is also the privileged habitat of crocodiles and alligators who reign here as lords.

As far as the eye can see, this national park was consecrated in 1947 and is delimited in the distance by redwoods, pines, bald cypresses and other marsh oaks. It is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The climate of the Everglades in particular. It is divided into two distinct seasons. The dry season runs from November to April. Rather mild, temperatures range from 19°C (minimum) to 24°C (maximum). This is the best time to visit the park. As the water level is relatively low, alligators and other crocodiles are more likely to come out at the end of their noses and a multitude of migratory birds take their quarters there. Of course, the dry season is also the most visited period, especially between December and March.

If you prefer canoeing is a more environmentally friendly way to visit the Everglades. Indeed, canoeing in the mangroves is particularly nice, especially if you are a little reckless.
