The Everglades National Park can be found on the southern tip of Florida. It covers 1.5 million acres of land and is made up of swamps, sub-tropical jungles and saw-grass prairies. There are 14 endangered species found in the Everglades, among them the West Indian manatee, the Florida panther and the American crocodile. There is plenty of space for visitors to camp, canoe and go on nature hikes. However there are also large areas that have been unexplored or explored only by adventurers.

Monkey Jungle

The Monkey Jungle is a unique monkey park that allows visitors to observe these primates in a somewhat natural environment. It is located in Southern Miami Dade County. The park consists of multiple wire-enclosed pathways that allow you to walk in among the monkeys and which have earned the park the tagline "where the humans are caged and the monkeys run wild." You can watch 30 species and around 400 monkeys swing through the trees right above your heads and interact in ways that are hard to catch glimpses of in a regular zoo.

Coral Castle

For 28 years Latvian-born Miami resident Edward Leedskalnin built this monument to his fiancée who jilted him a day before their wedding. It is a stone structure made primarily from limestone and formed from coral. Coral Castle is also known as Rock Gate, but is called Coral Castle as Leedskalnin fashioned walls, a castle tower, furniture and carvings out of the mammoth stones. The furniture includes a heart-shaped table, a bathtub, rocking chairs and a royal throne. These megalithic stones each weigh several tons and are quite a sight to see.
