OUR MISSION
CONNECTING PEOPLE WITH NATURE AND CONSERVATION
Our company is dedicated to inspiring both tourists and locals to explore the natural beauty of the Everglades while empowering them to make a meaningful impact on the world. We aim to showcase the paradise that exists in our own backyard, encouraging people of all ages—especially the next generation—to take an active role in conservation.
With a deep passion for wildlife and a background in zoology, we recognize the limited opportunities for nature enthusiasts in Florida. That’s why we’re creating a space where individuals can connect with nature, become ambassadors for the Everglades, and share its wonders with the world. By fostering a community of conservation advocates, we can work together to protect and preserve this one-of-a-kind ecosystem for future generations to enjoy.
Join us in making a difference—because the future of the Everglades depends on all of us.
DRIVEN BY PASSION,
GUIDED BY EXPERTISE

ARMANDO
ZOOLOGIST/ECO-TOUR GUIDE
Armando grew up in Miami. He grew up exploring the Everglades as a kid. This curiosity is what led him to take a position with a conservation group. In this role, he has been able to share his passion for wildlife and landscape photography.
​
Armando has also volunteered his time trying to remove the invasive Burmese pythons from the Everglades, and he has competed in the Florida Python Challenge, an annual competition to see who can catch the most pythons!
​
After graduating with a B.S. in Zoology, he moved to Costa Rica, where he worked with crocodiles, primates, tropical birds, and large felines. Eventually, he returned home to Miami, to his love for all things alligators and snakes!

As a zoologist/naturalist guide, he aims to leave people feeling educated, empowered, and inspired to make a positive impact on the world.
