What do you know about Everglades National Park? On your next language trip to the United States, LEC is here to help you brush up on your knowledge!
A vast expanse of nature not far from Miami
The Everglades is a U.S. national park located in Florida, a state you may have the privilege of discovering—or rediscovering—during an upcoming language study trip to the United States with LEC. It covers the southern tip of the state and is located west of Miami. Every year, it is visited by nearly a million curious visitors.

The Everglades National Park is vast, covering approximately 6,100 square kilometers: by way of comparison, that’s almost as large as the departments of Orne or Hérault on this side of the Atlantic Ocean.

Birds, reptiles, mammals, amphibians, and reptiles: there’s something for everyone!
