Overview
The Jungle Prada Site Tour explores the last 1,000 years of Florida history at one of most important historical landmarks in Tampa Bay. Jungle Prada was the site of a Tocobaga Indian village for over 600 years, and it is generally recognized as the 1528 landing place of Panfilo de Narvaez and Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca. Discover one the best-preserved American Indian mounds in all of Florida on this 75-minute guided historical walking adventure. We will escort you to the top of the private Anderson/Narvaez mound, a 900-foot-long, 25-foot-high shell midden. This family-owned property also boasts a 3-acre, Florida-friendly waterfront garden, a small museum with archaeological artifacts from the site, and dozens of free-roaming peacocks. The tour is full of fantastic story telling. It's an immersive historical and botanical experience that should not be missed. Reservations and facemasks are required. Tours are limited to a maximum of 10 people.

What a great experience if in St. Pete! We learned about the Native American tribe from the area and walked around the beautiful property. If you like peacocks... it’s a must! The owners were very hands on and have a generous spirit to share their land with us!

David is a fantastic tour guide and has a gift for storytelling. I was somewhat knowledgeable about the early history of the area, but I learned so much more on this tour. We felt comfortable in the former greenhouse (museum and shop) because the door was open and the space…
