Call of the Wild

Florida is one of the most ecologically diverse states in the country, and nature lovers from all across the world visit to experience its natural beauty. During your stay at the International Palms, plan a day trip to the Turkey Creek Sanctuary which is only about 40 minutes from the resort. On the first and third Saturday of the month, you can participate in a Ranger-led tour of the sanctuary. Along the trails, most of which are natural, the Rangers will point out the many different plants and animals that call the sanctuary home. Be sure to dress appropriately because the trails can get a little challenging, but the views are definitely worth the effort. The entire tour lasts a little over an hour and covers about a mile of the sanctuary. If you are looking to get a little closer to nature this year, then a Ranger-led tour of Turkey Creek Sanctuary is a great place to start.
