Miami, Everglades & Keys: 8 days from Miami

Florida · 8 Days

Plan your own route Print Download Excel

Florida's tropical south in eight days: Vizcaya and South Beach in Miami, then two days in the Everglades – Shark Valley by tram or bike, Big Cypress, the Anhinga Trail and Flamingo on Florida Bay. The Overseas Highway takes you down the Keys: the coral reef at Key Largo, the Seven Mile Bridge, the beach at Bahia Honda and two days in Key West with Hemingway's house, Fort Zachary Taylor and the famous Southernmost Point buoy. On the way back: Biscayne National Park near Miami.

About 800 kilometres with short drives. Best from December to April, when it is dry and there are fewer mosquitoes.

A sample route to look at. If you copy it, your own copy lands in your plans – there you can change days, stops and order.
