St. Petersburg Jungle Prada Site History Tour
Beskrivning
Jungle Prada Site History Tour är en historikerledd vandringstur i en privat trädgård vid havet och med den bäst bevarade indianhögen i Tampa Bay. Jungle Prada Site Complex tros också vara landningsplatsen för 1528 års expedition ledd av Pánfilo de Narváez, vars överlevande gick från Florida hela vägen till Stilla havet (1528 – 1536). Den privatägda Anderson Mound har bevarats kärleksfullt av medlemmar av familjen Anderson i över 80 år. Du kommer att träffa vilda påfåglar, upptäcka inhemska växter som används av Tocobaga-folket och utforska en sida av St. Petersburg, Florida som du aldrig visste fanns! Säkerhetsförklaring: På grund av fastighetens historiska karaktär är vissa ytor ojämna. Vänligen observera ditt steg och var försiktig på stigarna. Andra potentiella risker inkluderar alla de som naturligt uppstår när man går genom kraftigt skogbevuxna eller naturliga områden.

Resplan
Jungle Prada-webbplatsen är den bäst bevarade amerikanska indiska platsen i Tampa Bay. Höjdpunkten i vår 75-minuters guidade tur i Florida historia är en enorm Tocobaga indisk mellersta hög och angränsande byplats. Gömd bort i den historiska stadsdel som är känd som Jungle Prada, består huvudhaugen av tiotusentals gamla conch- och whelkskal och är mer än 900 fot lång! Det subtropiska djungellandskapet här är befolkat av dussintals vackra fritt-roaming påfåglar! Turnén och platserna är laddade med Floridas historia som förklaras på ett levande och engagerande sätt. Förutom att lära dig om Tocobaga-indiernas liv, kommer du också att möta den fantastiska berättelsen om Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca, en spansk erövrare som landade i Jungle Prada med Narvaez-expeditionen 1528, och vars otroliga överlevnadsresa tog honom och tre andra från Florida hela vägen till Stilla havet (1528 - 1536). Om du är bosatt i Florida eller är intresserad av historia och arkeologi är Jungle Prada Site Tour en givande upplevelse som kommer att engagera dig och utmana dina uppfattningar om 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.
