Excursión de historia del sitio de San Petersburgo a la jungla de Prada
Descripción
El recorrido histórico por el sitio Jungle Prada es un recorrido a pie dirigido por un historiador por un jardín privado junto al mar y que presenta el montículo indio americano mejor conservado de la Bahía de Tampa. También se cree que el Complejo de Sitio Jungle Prada fue el lugar de desembarco de la expedición de 1528 liderada por Pánfilo de Narváez, cuyos sobrevivientes caminaron desde Florida hasta el Océano Pacífico (1528 – 1536). El Anderson Mound, de propiedad privada, ha sido conservado con amor por miembros de la familia Anderson durante más de 80 años. ¡Conocerá pavos reales salvajes, descubrirá plantas nativas utilizadas por el pueblo Tocobaga y explorará un lado de San Petersburgo, Florida, que nunca supo que existía!

Itinerario
El sitio Jungle Prada es el sitio indio americano mejor conservado en Tampa Bay. Lo más destacado de nuestro recorrido guiado de 75 minutos por la historia de Florida es un enorme montículo indio de Tocobaga y la plaza contigua del pueblo. Escondido en el vecindario histórico conocido como Jungle Prada, el montículo principal consta de decenas de miles de conchas de concha y lechuza antiguas, ¡y tiene más de 900 pies de largo! ¡El paisaje de la selva subtropical aquí está poblado por docenas de hermosos pavos reales que deambulan libremente! El recorrido y los lugares están cargados de la historia de Florida que se explica de una manera vibrante y atractiva. Además de aprender sobre la vida de los indios de Tocobaga, también encontrarás la increíble historia de Alvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca, un conquistador español que desembarcó en la jungla Prada con la Expedición Narváez de 1528, y cuyo increíble viaje de supervivencia lo llevó y otros tres desde Florida hasta el Océano Pacífico (1528 - 1536). ¡Si usted es un residente de Florida o un visitante interesado en la historia y la arqueología, el Jungle Prada Site Tour es una experiencia gratificante que cautivará su mente y desafiará sus percepciones sobre Sunshine State!

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.
We throughly enjoyed this informational, historical, packed full of fun facts tour. I attended with my grandma and two young daughters and all ages were entertained. A wonderful afternoon learning about the history of this area. Baby peacocks were a surprise bonus!
Wow, the best 90 + minutes spent. Jungle Prada Historical Site is a place, rich in history of Florida indigenous populations, Spanish exploration, archeological artifacts, native plants and beautiful water view. David, our guide was very generous with providing us with historical facts and some anecdotes. He is a captivating speaker who holds everyone’s attention at all times. He made this Native Indian village site alive for his listeners helping them imagine everyday life and special ceremonies held at this place by native people. Very talented and knowledgeable guide with passion for the topic. A bonus at this site was presence of multiple peacocks who live freely on the property and surrounding neighborhood. They added color and exotic sounds to the whole experience.
Tour guide is well versed. His information was excellent. I learned things I didn't. Very personable and a grat site. Price was excellent. I would encourage anyone going to or who lives in the Tampa Bay area to visit this. 💕👍
