Introduction
Based in Los Angeles, California, Eloah Rocha serves as a counselor at the Los Angeles
Children’s Hospital, where she oversees a youth activity center for the siblings of patients. Eloah
Rocha also spends time in Florida, where she enjoys exploring the state’s different parks.
Located at the southern tip of Florida, Everglades National Park comprises 1.5 million acres of
wetland, and is mostly undeveloped. The area is home to many birds, reptiles, and fish, and
includes rivers and marshes that result in a diverse ecosystem. The land is protected because it
offers such a unique ecosystem and is like no other place on the planet.
Many tourists to Florida skip the Everglades in favor of Miami or Orlando, but the
Everglades are worth a visit, especially for those who enjoy spending time in nature. Plus,
the park is conveniently located near most tourist destinations. Visitors to the Everglades
will get the chance to see wild animals such as the Florida panther, crocodiles and
alligators, manatees, and dolphins. They can also participate in outdoor activities such as
hiking, bird watching, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing.
Since the park is so big, it is recommended to plan your trip ahead of time. Be sure to
check the hours of operation at the national park website:
