Descrição
O Jungle Prada Site History Tour é um passeio a pé liderado por historiadores por um jardim privado à beira-mar e apresenta o monte indígena americano mais bem preservado da Baía de Tampa. O Jungle Prada Site Complex também é considerado o local de desembarque da expedição de 1528 liderada por Pánfilo de Narváez, cujos sobreviventes caminharam da Flórida até o Oceano Pacífico (1528 – 1536).

Itinerário
O site Jungle Prada é o site indiano americano mais bem preservado em Tampa Bay. O destaque de nossa excursão guiada de 75 minutos pela história da Flórida é um enorme monte montanhoso indiano de Tocobaga e uma praça da vila adjacente. Escondido no bairro histórico conhecido como Jungle Prada, o monte principal consiste em dezenas de milhares de conchas antigas e conchas de búzios, e tem mais de 900 pés de comprimento! A paisagem da selva subtropical aqui é povoada por dezenas de belos pavões de roaming grátis! O passeio e os locais são carregados com a história da Flórida, explicada de uma maneira vibrante e envolvente. Além de aprender sobre a vida dos índios Tocobaga, você também encontrará a incrível história de Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca, um conquistador espanhol que desembarcou na Jungle Prada com a Expedição Narvaez de 1528 e cuja incrível jornada de sobrevivência o levou e três outros da Flórida até o Oceano Pacífico (1528 - 1536). Se você é um residente da Flórida ou um visitante interessado em história e arqueologia, o Jungle Prada Site Tour é uma experiência gratificante que envolverá sua mente e desafiará suas percepções sobre o 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. 💕👍
