Soak in the breathtaking expanse of the third-largest national park in the United States, Florida"s Everglades National Park. Spanning 64,238 hectares, this park encapsulates the largest subtropical wilderness of the United States. The Everglades are a lifeline to 36 federally protected and endangered wildlife, from the gentle manatee to the stealthy Florida panther. Here, the air thrums with the calls of over 350 bird species like limpkins and snail kites, while the waters teem with life too: fish, like snook and redfish and American crocodiles are all found here. Beyond its biodiversity, the park has earned global recognition, celebrated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, an International Biosphere Reserve and a Wetland of International Importance.
