There is made a road through the park with smaller hikes and canoe trips along the route. The final destination is called Flamingo City. It must be said that unfortunately there are many flamingos at Flamingo City. This bird is not widespread in the park at all. By contrast, both alligators and crocodiles, as there are both fresh and saltwater. You come very close to these animals, as they often crawl up on land. Do not worry, they do not eat humans. Africa and Australia alligators and crocodiles would be much more aggressive. Other major attractions are the vegetation, which offers different terrains that vary greatly. There are Bald Cypress, which looks quite funny looking at this time of year. They are completely naked when they lose their needles in winter. The trees look quite dead and gray-white out. Pine Forest is also called Forest Fire, because they need forest fires to survive. If there are no forest fires, will alien plants and trees start to take place. Fires prevent this happening. All plants and trees in a Pine Forest is "built" to survive a fire. The trees have a special bark that protects them from fire. The plants can burn down, because the root is undamaged in the ground and is ready to grow again. Initially people tried to prevent forest fires. Today ignite controlled fires on purpose to protect the Pine Forests and ensure their conservation. Currently, it is only possible to stay overnight in the national park to camp. There are several camping sites along the road. There is also a hotel in Flamingo City, but its under construction, when a hurricane has completely destroyed it.
