NATURAL ATTRACTIONS

FLOATING

Wearing special neoprene outfits, a mask and snorkel, visitors float on the waters of calm and crystalline rivers and, due to the excellent visibility conditions, are able to observe the underwater flora and fish from the Pantanal region – "piraputangas", "pintados", "pacus" and "dourados". Check on the main locations for floating tours, below.

Natural Aquarium – Baia Bonita Ecological Park

Floating is possible along the 600-meter area near the springs of the Baia Bonita River. Along the Animal Trail, which is also inside the ecological reservation, it is possible to see local specimen such as oysters, armadillos, "guara" wolfs, alligators and anacondas.

Prata River

The tour starts with a one-hour walk along a trail inside the native forest, which is the habitat of species like hogs, monkeys and birds. Floating is possible over 2 km along rivers Olho d'Agua and Prata (one of the most crystalline in the whole region, and where there is also a great diversity of fish). Visitors can also opt to go on a horse ride.

Bonito Adventure

It includes descending the Formoso River and exploring natural, submerged grottos. After walking along some 2 km of forest trail, visitors may float on the transparent waters of Formoso River, which runs along river rapids and rocky formations.

Sucuri River (The Anaconda River)

The transparency of its calm waters, large shoals of fish, springs and exotic plants are all just incredible. Floating on Sucuri River happens along a 2-km stretch, with average duration of 45 minutes. It is located on the São Geraldo Farm, where visitors also have access to trails in the forest and horse or bicycle tours.

GROTTOS & CAVES

Gruta do Lago Azul (The Blue Lake Grotto)

Incredible geological formation with limestone rocks, 100 metres in width and 70 metres in depth, full of cave themes. At the end of the grotto there is a lagoon of transparent waters, resembling a huge bluish mirror.

Gruta de São Miguel (The Saint Michel Grotto)

The grotto is rich in limestone formations. Access is available through a suspended trail surrounded by native forest. Located in the Anhumas Vale Ecological Park Natural Reserve, it is considered one of the best attractions in Bonito.

ADVENTURE TOURISM

The Anhumas Abyss
An opening in the ground takes us down into a vertical abyss. It is necessary for visitors to use "rapel" techniques to reach the bottom of the cave, 72 meters below the surface. Down below, there is a lake with approximately 8 meters in depth, where diving allows viewing limestone formations.

"Lagoa Misteriosa" (the Mysterious Lagoon)
In the municipality of Jardim, 40 km away from Bonito, this Lake thrills visitors due to its depth and transparency of its water. During winter months (between June and September), visibility surpasses 40 meters. Access to this blue-water lake is fairly difficult, however, the effort is rewarding due to the landscape it offers to divers. Diving is allowed according to the limits established by the certification granted to each diver. There are also special circuits for "Cave Divers".

Mimoso Grotto
Located 35 km away from downtown Bonito, the Mimoso Grotto is one of the most beautiful caves in the world for diving. Divers must be certified as "Overhead Divers" at least so they can explore the 70-meter extension of the cavern, located 20 meters below the surface. To enter the Cones Hall, named after the 8 m rocky formations found inside the "hall", divers need an "Intro to Cave"-type certificate. Mimoso Grotto is considered one of the most amazing cavern-diving points in Brazil
