The South Florida Chapter of American Pilgrims is centered on Miami. The purpose of local chapters is to keep members connected to the Camino and to introduce new people to the phenomenon. We plan to accomplish this in a number of ways, such as social events, walks, mentoring future pilgrims and possibly serving as a local host for hospitalero training through American Pilgrims.
To serve as a local host for hospitalero training in the Miami area.
The chapter will be scheduling walks, talks, potlucks and much more! These will be listed here but you may also want to check the Local and Regional Events page for other events that may be of interest. To be added to the chapter mailing list, click HERE.

For our Second Sunday Walk in April, the South Florida Chapter has a new walk - the route is courtesy of fellow pilgrim Jerry Chua. We will meet at Sullivan's Park at 8:00 AM (1633 Riverview Rd, Deerfield Beach, FL 33441). There is free parking for the first four (4) hours. We will walk from Sullivan Park and loop back. The walk will be mainly on asphalt, concrete and sand (on the beach), between 5 to 6 miles in length. As always it is advisable to bring a hat, sunscreen, bug repellent and water. And as always, this is a rain or shine event and there is no need to RSVP.
