The main difference between the Everglades and the rainforest is that the Everglades is a freshwater swamp while the rainforest is a tropical forest. The Everglades is located in the southern tip of Florida while the rainforest is located in Central and South America, Africa, Southeast Asia, and Australasia. Another difference is that the Everglades is home to many endangered species, such as the Florida panther, while the rainforest is home to many species of plants and animals.

The Everglades is a "River of Grass" (Marjorie Douglas) with the water some eight inches high in the rainy season and fifteen miles wide. It flows south from Lake Okeechobee to The Gulf of Mexico.

Florida is a very interesting state because it has A LOT of different biomes... A very unique type of 'biome' (found in the Everglades) is called a Tropical Hammock. Tropical Hammocks are like miniature Tropical Rainforests that are scattered all around Southern Florida (again, mainly in the Everglades). It has been said that Key Lignumvitae has a little Tropical Rainforest on it. So, to answer your question yes, there is Tropical Rainforest in Florida. Another interesting note, is that Florida actually has Subtropical Rainforest as well! Look up Ocala National Forest and you'll see how cool that is. You always hear people talking about Tropical Rainforest, but not Subtropical. It's pretty interesting!
The driving distance between Orlando and Everglades National Park is approximately 275 road miles.
