For Space Journey, this site symbolizes the\"Global Connection\"<\/strong>: the legacy of a man who traveled the world to bring life and knowledge to Miami<\/strong>. It is a space of resistance against massive urbanization, a green lung that preserves not only exotic plants, but the philosophy that nature is our greatest library. Here, luxury is manifested in silence, the shade of ancient trees and the uninterrupted view of Biscayne Bay from a coral pier.","description_body":"Cross the limestone threshold and let the humidity of the tropics envelop you. Walk under the shadow of the gigantic Banyan Trees<\/strong> and discover the Tanzania Baobab<\/strong>, a colossus that seems taken from an African dream. Walk the paths that wind through exotic fruit trees from Asia and the Pacific, while the sound of peacocks and the wind in the palms creates a unique natural soundtrack. As you reach the water's edge, the bay's horizon opens before you from a historic pier that invites pure contemplation. It is an immersion in the \"Green Utopia\", where time stops between aerial roots and flowers that only open at dusk.","audio_guide_en":"","audio_guide_es":"","audio_guide_duration":"","image_2":5791,"image_3":5793,"image_4":5795,"image_5":5797,"origin_point":"25.72300, -80.24500","curated_waypoints":"25.72250, -80.24400 | 25.72350, -80.24600","destination_point":"25.72300, -80.24500","latitude_start":"25.72300","longitude_start":"-80.24500","golden_spot_lat":"25.72250","golden_spot_lng":"-80.24400","golden_spot_tips":"Coral Pier.<\/strong> Located at the end of the small stone pier that overlooks Biscayne Bay<\/strong>.
