St. Petersburg Jungle Prada Site History Tour
Beskrivelse
Jungle Prada Site History Tour er en historiker-ledet vandretur i en privat have ved havet og byder på den bedst bevarede amerikanske indianerhøj i Tampa Bay. Jungle Prada Site Complex menes også at være landingsstedet for 1528-ekspeditionen ledet af Pánfilo de Narváez, hvis overlevende gik fra Florida hele vejen til Stillehavet (1528 – 1536). Den privatejede Anderson Mound er blevet kærligt bevaret af medlemmer af Anderson-familien i over 80 år. Du vil møde vilde påfugle, opdage indfødte planter, der blev brugt af Tocobaga-folket, og udforske en side af St. Petersburg, Florida, du aldrig vidste eksisterede! Sikkerhedserklæring: På grund af ejendommens historiske karakter er nogle overflader ujævne. Vær venligst opmærksom på dit skridt og vær forsigtig på stierne. Andre potentielle risici omfatter alle dem, der naturligt opstår ved at gå gennem stærkt skovklædte eller naturlige områder.

Jungle Prada-stedet er det bedst bevarede amerikanske indiske sted i Tampa Bay. Højdepunktet på vores 75-minutters guidede Florida historie-tour er en enorm Tocobaga indisk mellemhaug og tilstødende landsbyplaza. Skjult væk i det historiske kvarter, der er kendt som Jungle Prada, består hovedhaugen af titusinder af eldgamle kegle- og hvalkeskaller og er mere end 900 fod lang! Det subtropiske jungllandskab her er befolket af snesevis af smukke frispændende påfugle! Turnéen og placeringerne er fyldt med Floridas historie, der forklares på en levende og spændende måde. Ud over at lære om Tocobaga-indianernes liv, vil du også støde på den fantastiske historie om Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca, en spansk erobrer, der landede i Jungle Prada med Narvaez-ekspeditionen i 1528, og hvis utrolige overlevelsesrejse tog ham og tre andre fra Florida helt til Stillehavet (1528 - 1536). Hvis du er bosiddende i Florida eller besøgende, der er interesseret i historie og arkæologi, er Jungle Prada Site Tour en givende oplevelse, der vil engagere dit sind og udfordre din opfattelse af Sunshine State!

Excellent tour and overall experience. David is funny, engaging and has apparently encyclopedic knowledge of his subject matter. Military and senior discounts, but we tipped more than the discounts. If you enjoy learning the history of an area, this tour will have you enthralled.
David was a wonderful and enthusiastic tour guide. The history he shared about St. Pete and the Indigenous people who inhabited the area was fascinating and gave us a deeper appreciation for the place. The beautiful grounds, lush flora, and family of peacocks created such a relaxing and welcoming setting. A lovely experience, and one that both visitors and those from St. Petersburg should definitely make time to enjoy!
It was truly an amazing experience! The peacocks and the grounds are beautiful! David was an amazing guide who took the time to explain the history of the property with passion!
We appreciated the stories of the coming Spanish to Jungle Prada before St. Augustine was established and why this area did not become America's first city. David, our tour guide, is studied in plants and the history of his land. He described the Indians' world as found by the Spanish and seen in the landscape as we traveled up the path, higher and higher, to the plaza flat area and then the midden above the plaza. The difference in sea height is obvious, and the land on which we stood is a great archeological area. The Indian plants throughout the garden were marked with placards about their use as medicine, food, and housing, which is interesting, especially that so many different kinds of plants exist and look familiar in people's yards. Ancient wisdom grows right under foot, and I did not know. The definitive translation of the Spanish explorer who survived the landing and returned to Spain is available through Dave. I have begun the book, and it too is interesting about the early 1500s history and exploration of Florida, and all the way to California. Dave's visuals and commentary offered a broad perspective to put the plants, land, and history into perspective. The peacock families near our feet were fun to photo, and the place does look like a great wedding venue. That Dvid is proud of his family's heritage and legacy started by his grandparents is evident. That this land has been preserved at all is amazing, as it could have been swallowed up by the multi-million dollar homes surrounding it. The Jungle Prada Tavern on the other side of the parking lot is awesome. Great food, staff, and prices.
The guide has a wealth of historical information about the area and St Petersburg. His narrative brought alive in your mind where you could picture it.
Amazing history tour! This is the real deal - a multi-generational operation by a family who truly cares about the history of the area. Thorough history shared in an engaging way delivered by grandson. Tour starts inside for about 20 minutes, then outside tour for about 45 minutes, then back inside for 15. It is hot on tour though plenty of shade and solid breeze from sea. The sea view is expansive. I loved seeing the peacocks, peahens and peachicks!
I really enjoyed this tour. I learned so much, met Randy the rooster and saw beautiful peacocks with their babies. David was a great guide and was a wealth of knowledge.
Great little afternoon fun venture. David, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable about the estate as well as the local history. Highly recommend 😊
David-exceptional and thorough Grounds-comfort and interesting Educational experience was packed with facts and some interesting quips
Wonderful! David is a very knowledgeable and passionate host. I learned a bunch about the history of the land. His gardens are beautiful too.
