Visite historique du site de la jungle Prada à Saint-Pétersbourg
Description
La visite historique du site Jungle Prada est une visite à pied guidée par un historien d'un jardin privé en bord de mer et présentant le monticule amérindien le mieux préservé de Tampa Bay. On pense également que le complexe du site Jungle Prada est le lieu de débarquement de l'expédition de 1528 dirigée par Pánfilo de Narváez, dont les survivants ont marché depuis la Floride jusqu'à l'océan Pacifique (1528-1536). Le Anderson Mound, une propriété privée, est préservé avec amour par les membres de la famille Anderson depuis plus de 80 ans. Vous rencontrerez des paons sauvages, découvrirez des plantes indigènes utilisées par le peuple Tocobaga et explorerez une partie de Saint-Pétersbourg, en Floride, dont vous ignoriez l'existence ! Déclaration de sécurité : En raison du caractère historique de la propriété, certaines surfaces sont inégales. Veuillez faire attention à vos pas et être prudent sur les sentiers. D’autres risques potentiels incluent tous ceux qui découlent naturellement de la marche dans des zones fortement boisées ou naturelles.

Le site Jungle Prada est le site des Indiens d'Amérique le mieux conservé de Tampa Bay. Le point culminant de notre visite guidée de l'histoire de la Floride de 75 minutes est un énorme monticule indien Tocobaga et la place du village voisin. Caché dans le quartier historique connu sous le nom de Jungle Prada, le monticule principal se compose de dizaines de milliers d'anciennes coquilles de conques et de bulots, et mesure plus de 900 pieds de long! Le paysage de la jungle subtropicale est peuplé de dizaines de beaux paons en liberté! La visite et les lieux sont chargés d'histoire de la Floride qui est expliquée d'une manière dynamique et engageante. En plus d'en apprendre davantage sur la vie des Indiens Tocobaga, vous rencontrerez également l'incroyable histoire d'Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca, un conquistador espagnol qui a atterri à la Jungle Prada avec l'expédition Narvaez 1528 et dont l'incroyable voyage de survie l'a amené et trois autres de la Floride jusqu'à l'océan Pacifique (1528 - 1536). Si vous êtes un résident de la Floride ou un visiteur intéressé par l'histoire et l'archéologie, la visite du site Jungle Prada est une expérience enrichissante qui engagera votre esprit et remettra en question vos perceptions sur le 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. 💕👍
