The Everglades is not a single landscape but a slow-moving system of water, grass, and light—an enormous subtropical river flowing almost imperceptibly toward the sea. Visitors come here to glide through mangroves, watch alligators drift through sawgrass, and experience one of the most unique ecosystems on Earth.
