I only had two hours to visit Everglades National Park and it was definitely not enough time; the park is huge! I was only able to visit the Anhinga Trail and Pineland Trail, both near the Ernest Coe Visitor Center and the main park entrance. I absolutely recommend the Anhinga Trail. The wildlife there is amazing; I saw alligators, turtles and many different types of birds. I even saw a bird catch and eat a fish near the entrance. If you only have time to visit one place in the Everglades, this is definitely it. I left the trail fully satisfied. I could not believe I was actually in Florida. The Pineland Trail is also worth a visit although no wildlife could be seen here. My trip to the park was brief but it gave me a taste for a longer visit in the future. It is sad to note that the Everglades is one of only two endangered sites located in developed countries, the other being Dresden Elbe Valley in Germany.

Update: The site was removed from the endangered list during the 31st Session of the World Heritage Committee in 2007.
