Bonito Trips & Tours

Bonito may be a small town at the southern tip of the Greater Pantanal, but its allure extends far beyond that – all the way into the 77,000-hectare Serra da Bodoquena National Park to be exact. The region is famed for its crystalline rivers including one of the clearest in the world, the Rio da Prata, where visibility can exceed 30 metres. Don a wetsuit and let the water carry you through this natural aquarium where exotic fish dart by and birdlife calls overhead, and then head for the theatrical cave formations. Amongst the most iconic, Gruta do Lago Azul hides an electric-blue subterranean lake whilst in Abismo Anhumas, you can rappel 72 metres down into the water-filled cavern. Alternatively, hike through the jungle in search of hidden waterfalls, tube down the rapids or pay a visit to Buraco das Araras, one of the world’s largest sinkholes, and now a sanctuary for hundreds of macaws. And after a day filled with adventure, there’s nothing left to do but relax with a glass of Cachaça as the tunes of cicadas fill the air.
