Visite historique du site de la jungle de Saint-Pétersbourg Prada

Aperçu
Le Jungle Prada Tour est une visite guidée par un historien d'un site de village préhistorique de Tocobaga, y compris le monticule amérindien le mieux conservé de Tampa Bay. On pense également que le complexe du site de la jungle Prada est le lieu d'atterrissage de l'expédition de Narváez de 1528, dont les survivants ont marché de la Floride jusqu'à l'océan Pacifique (1528 - 1536) !

Nous sommes situés sur la rives de la magnifique baie de Boca Ciega, juste en face de John's Pass et de Treasure Island. La propriété privée Anderson Mound a été amoureusement préservée par la famille Anderson depuis plus de 80 ans.

Vous rencontrerez des paons (résidents du site Jungle Prada depuis les années 1950), découvrirez des plantes indigènes utilisées par le peuple Tocobaga , et explorez un côté de Saint-Pétersbourg, en Floride, dont vous ignoriez l'existence !

The Jungle Prada Site is the best-preserved American Indian site in Tampa Bay. The highlight of our 75-minute guided Florida history tour is a huge Tocobaga Indian midden mound and adjoining village plaza. Hidden away in the historic neighborhood known as Jungle Prada, the main mound consists of tens of thousands of ancient conch and whelk shells, and is more than 900 feet long! The subtropical jungle landscape here is populated by dozens of beautiful free-roaming peacocks! The tour and the locations are loaded with Florida history that is explained in a vibrant and engaging way. In addition to learning about the lives of the Tocobaga Indians, you'll also encounter the amazing story of Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca, a Spanish conquistador who landed at the Jungle Prada with the 1528 Narvaez Expedition, and whose incredible journey of survival took him and three others from Florida all the way to the Pacific Ocean (1528 - 1536). If you are a Florida resident or a visitor interested in history and archaeology, the Jungle Prada Site Tour is a rewarding experience that will engage your mind and challenge your perceptions about the Sunshine State!

Le site Jungle Prada est le site amérindien le mieux préservé de Tampa Bay. Le point culminant de notre visite guidée de 75 minutes sur l'histoire de la Floride est un énorme tumulus indien Tocobaga et une place de village attenante. 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 ici est peuplé de dizaines de beaux paons en liberté ! La visite et les lieux sont chargés d'histoire de la Floride qui est expliquée de manière dynamique et engageante. En plus d'en apprendre davantage sur la vie des Indiens Tocobaga, vous découvrirez également l'incroyable histoire d'Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca, un conquistador espagnol qui a débarqué dans la jungle Prada avec l'expédition Narvaez de 1528, et dont l'incroyable voyage de survie l'a mené et trois autres de 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 défiera vos perceptions sur le Sunshine State !

I’m a 62-year old Florida native and I only recently learned about this great tour. I knew that a parcel of jungle existed next to the boat ramp, and that it was the purported landing place of Spanish Explorer de Narvaez. But I didn’t know about the extensive Tocobaga Indian site that existed there for hundreds of years. David, whose family owns the site, gives a excellent tour. He really knows his horticulture and there are beautiful blooming plants throughout the property. David explains how the Tocobaga lived there and what happened to them. The fascinating story of the de Narvaez expedition is wonderfully told as well. Then David brings it all up to date with the development of the region through the 19th and 20th centuries. This is a must-take tour for local residents like me and I would also recommend it for tourists to this beautiful area.

Not to missed in St. Petersburg is this walk through 900 years of Florida history near the site (in the adjacent state park) of the first Spanish Roman Catholic mass to be held in the New World. The history and geography "lessons" provided during the stroll taught us a great deal and, of course, prompted me to purchase Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca's book, the latest translation. I am presently reading it. The guide (and owner) was an excellent speaker and able to answer any and all questions from the group during the tour, be they about the history or any other subject related to the site. Although I use a cane, the walk was an easy one with relatively no climbs or difficult trails. The trails, sadly, are not suitable for wheelchairs though. We were unaware (for some reason) of the tour times and, therefore, arrived about 1 1/2 hours before the morning tour. The number to call for reservations is on a large sign at the gate and we did. Then we enjoyed the park until the gate was opened for the tour. (See my review of the adjacent Jungle Prada de Narvaez Park separately). Tours are given Wednesday through Sunday. The cost for the stroll for seniors is only $10.00. There is ample parking available. A small museum is available inside the site before and after the walk where visitors may see examples of the archaeological artifacts discovered on the site and purchase de Vaca's book (or a few others) if they so desire. When in St. Petersburg, don't miss this one. It is well worth your time.
