A deep grotto with the blue lake at the bottom. The visit must be in a timed group, reserved beforehand via a tour agency in Bonito. The guide was very good including caring for our safety with appropriate protocols and briefing. On a cloudy or rainy day, the blue colour of the water is very muted. However, you can get bluer colours in photos using night mode.

Gruta do Lago Azul - Beautiful, Safe, and Worth Experiencing. Gruta do Lago Azul is a stunning natural site, the deep blue water and dramatic cave formations are definitely worth seeing. While it wasn’t the highlight of my trip to Bonito, I’m really glad I got to experience it.The tour is quite structured and short, with allot of stairs involved, so it may feel a bit underwhelming if you’re looking for something more adventurous. That said, the guides were fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure everything was safe and well-organized. It’s a unique and peaceful spot, and definitely a worthwhile stop if you’re exploring the area. Book ahead from my experience.

We traveled from the other side of the world Australia. Such an amazing experience. We enjoyed the experience. It's a few hundred metres from the carpark, an easy guided walk, then the guides take you down slowly 300 steps. Dress light, good walking shoes and bug repellent (we brought repellent at the gift shop). No need for a hat as you wear the helmet. Guides are amazing. The gift shop also has plenty of icecream, drinks and water. Great experience. Book directly with venue and secure your pass. I have attached the best driver too who picked us up from hotel. Its a 25 minute drive but half is off road.

Really beautiful and it didn’t take too long, my 76 year old father could handle the slow paced steps 👍🏼 Some of the other similar caves are not “wet” at the bottom like this one 😉
Ben H — Google review
It is quite beautiful but if you have been in a cave before it is not so special. You walk down, get some info and up again. 30 min and you are ready. The price was not in balance with the experience for me
Martijn P — Google review
While the cave is a nice place to see, the provider at the location is not delivering much value to it. It feels like they are simply herding as much visitors as reasonably possible in and out. As a foreign visitor you need to be lucky to get any comprehensible input as signs are only in local language and guides might or might not speak any language other than Portuguese. Most of them seem to do not, and so you might end up with not understanding anything. Overally other activities in the region are more worthwhile, and much better in accomodating international visitors' needs for information provision in multiple languages. So I recommend, go elsewhere and spend your money there, especially if you don't speak Portuguese.
J K — Google review
The place is very beautiful. It is a huge stalactite cave with unusually blue water. The tour is not accessible and is not in English, the guide completely ignored our presence and was not very nice. The attraction is boring. Go down the stairs to see the beauty and go back up. Not sure it is worth the price.
עוז מ — Google review
The cave itself is nice and impressive, but the surrounding organisation to us appeared not very accommodating for foreign visitors. We do not speak Portuguese and were told at check-in that the guide would speak at least some English, which was not the case. They seemed to not bother that we didn't understand and there was no effort to, for example, switch us to the next tour 20 minutes later which apparently was run by a guide who spoke some English and had other international visitors (which we found out after the tour). So, the 'safety briefing' at the beginning and information during the tour were only provided in Portuguese. At other attractions around Bonito we found at least some signs in English, which helped us to understand a bit more. So honestly, it was a bit dissappointing for us to pay the not cheap price for the tour and transport for an experience where we could not understand anything. Nevertheless the natural beauty of the cave is memorable.

Nice place to do snorkeling. There are many fishes. But not as much as I expect. The snorkeling tour is very long. I gave four star mostly because 1) they should offer free lockers 2) The guides are very in a hurry, so I cannot enjoy the snorkeling so much. I don't think it is the guides' fault, because the next group has to go on time. No English guide, so I have to ask others help. But in general, it is a nice place to go.

(Translated by Google) An incredible and unmissable experience! The snorkeling experience I enjoyed the most. Crystal-clear waters and pleasant temperatures, plenty of fish, not to mention the sand springs (volcanoes). Our guide, Marcelo José, was very knowledgeable and gave us detailed instructions on the entire snorkeling experience. I highly recommend it! (Original) Experiência incrível e imperdível!

We had an amazing time on the Sucuri River Eco Tour! The water was crystal clear, and we were able to see all sorts of fish and plants up close. Our guide Asa was unbelievable - he was so knowledgeable and friendly, and he made sure we had a great time. He was also very good at pointing out the different plants and trees that we passed. He told us all about the different properties of the plants and how they are used by the local people. We started the tour with a short hike through the rainforest to the source of the river. After that we floated down the river for about forty minutes. The water was a bit chilly at first, but we quickly warmed up. We saw all sorts of colorful fish. Overall, we had a fantastic time on the Sucuri River Eco Tour. It was a great way to experience the beauty of the Bonito region and learn about its unique ecosystem. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bonito.

Rio Sucuri snorkeling experience is truly a must-do when in Bonito. We were not disappointed: the 30-40 minutes of floating down the crystal clear freshwater stream while observing wonderful green algues and fish of all sizes (very curious!) is among the best we had throughout our travels! We are only taking off one star due to the human factor: this is a very expensive tour (1350 BRL, EUR 212 for 2 persons) for a half-day experience where lunch is not included and most of the time you are waiting either to be taken in charge, or to be picked up by the agency’s shared taxi.. again, the experience in itself lasts about 30-40 minutes only.
Amaya M — Google review
The snorkle flotation down this river is beautiful. You are equipped with wet suits for the cold water. The first 10 minutes of the river has immense beauty however this bleeds of very quickly and the remaining 40 minutes or so is very ordinary like any other river bed. It was still worth the visit though it was slightly on the pricy side.

Sucuri River — where water becomes soul.** 🌊✨ It has been nearly a quarter of a century — a time equal to a human generation — since I first encountered this privileged place. Back then, I did not yet have the inner maturity to grasp its purity, its serene power. But today, I understand. 🕊️ The Sucuri River is not just water. It is emotion, flowing freely. Its clarity mirrors inner awareness. To drift within it is to surrender completely to one's feelings — a state of wholeness, as Jung might say. 💧🌀 The river’s source felt like the birth of my soul — untouched, radiant, childlike in its golden innocence. 🌟🧒 And the Sucuri itself, once a symbol of my fear and anger, I now see as the shadow we must embrace to be complete. 🌒🪷 This river carried me, even when I didn’t know how to swim within myself. Now I understand: inner clarity is freedom, and emotion is the vessel of becoming. 🛶💫 **And why do I find this place so beautiful, so magnetic?** Because it mirrors what I carry inside. 🪞🌿 Long ago, I only saw this in the outside world, unaware that it was within me all along. Today, I know: my longing for purity, beauty, clarity, and connection is reflected in this river — just as it flows gently through the landscape, I wish to flow through life. 🌅🌱 That is the mirror. In it, I see my deepest longing. 💖

Badly organised. Staff was very uncaring I didn't get to eat because I booked a dive after the flotation, and was left without ANY food! There was NOTHING left by the time I got there. I couldn't eat all day, wasn't even given a snack. Flotation and dive were great, but wasn't given a hygienic cover to wear underneath helmet for quad tour. Also, many people walked on the river floor even though they were explicitly told not to do so, staff didn't bat an eye lid though. Make sure in advance they give you all you paid for. Don't just take the word from tour operator

Amazing activity for kids and adults! The small kids can stay in the boat which is super safe and you swim the sucuri river snorkeling and enjoying the crystal clear water. The experience is amazing and the zip line at the end was the star of the show. The main entrance has a large pool and restaurant. You can also go check the animals as part of the compound. It is really a full day activity and the kids can swim in the pool. The weather was not great when we went during June. So we recommend it during the summer time around Feb or March you might get better weather.

It's very close to the centre of Bonito. The prices of the tour cost around R$350 on most agencies. It was an amazing experience to swim with the fish in this beautiful river. The equipment is professional and comfortable. The guide gave us small training before going to the river. It's not mandatory to know how to swim.

This place has two pools, a restaurant, a little theater (that has 0 use). It's a nice place, but I went to places where that were cheaper and with nicer views. The water of the river is amazing, and you can see some kinds of fish, the service is also pretty good, and our guide was amazing, but there are better places, in better states for less money, and the package for the photos is very tricky, you pay certain amount for photos, but at the end of the day you could end up with 0 photos under the water because the photographer forgot to take photos of you, and they don't refund the money.

Really nice experience overall. Plus they have a really nice underwater camerman who takes beautiful pics that you can buy later. The hike part we really nice for kids - a chance to see caimans and ant eaters, etc However, in this area there are river segments that are so much kore beautiful for floatation/snorkeling.
Donatas S — Google review
I would say great facility and service! The actual experience of floating in crystal clear water of the river, snorkeling and the encounter with the fishes, superb! The trail is short and though the temperature was still very hot in April, the path is shaded by trees. Plus, the water in the river was refreshing after the walk. Do not forget to bring repellant (opt for the environment friendly ones). Like ALL the official tours/destinations in Bonito, you have to book this one with an agency. Agencies have more or less the same pricing. For those who do cost-saving/low-cost traveling, there is no bargaining here (that I knew of, read and asked around). The prices they said are well regulated, good side is that I felt safer and wouldn't be ripped out as a tourist (experienced in some places). I have to be back in Bonito.
Erna A — Google review
Arrived at 3:30pm the worker said it’s closed. On google says closes at 6pm. As well it’s needed to make booking with the agency in the city centre prior. I would kindly suggest the manager of this place to write accurate opening closing timing on google as well to mention that booking with the agency is mandatory so people don’t waste their time. Two stars for misleading.
Cristina B — Google review
We enjoyed the river snorkelling and return walk. Tends to be more rainforest type species of trees and wildlife. Suggest organising your own transport such as taxi. The bus service is expensive and inflexible. You'll arrive at 8, depart at 1700 which is too long in one location. It's about 7km out of town. Two in taxi 8s likely cheaper, more flexible. Also, no sunscreen or mosquito repellent to protect the water quality and fish life, which is important. The return walk, expect mosquitoes. Be mindful to take something once you are no longer getting into the river systems.

I chose to visit Bonito's Municipal Balneary to see where the locals take their friends and family to unwind. A local taught me to add fruit to the end of a long stick and place it on the water to see the fish leap up to remove the fruit. After taking a few photos of the leaping fish, I just tossed the fruit at different areas so that they can eat it in peace. Vhuntermassage LLC

It was advertised as being cool to visit, but being honest, as a tourist coming to visit for the first time Bonito, my expectations were to find nature, well that didn't happen here as there are thousand of local people, and I hope I'm not taken wrong here but a touristic place does not involved be surrounded of an overcrowded place, where there was no space to sit by the river, no place to sit on the chairs, noisy, among other factors. You see only one type of fish swimming among people, but being with that many, you can't really enjoy this place. And besides that the only activities there are, either swim, sit on the restaurant or grill your own meat, and that's it. So we had to stay there without being able to do anything.

If you want to see thousands of "piraputanga" fish and maybe some "dourados" this is the place. They're used to humans and will be swimming with you. A very safe place for families to enjoy a full day.

If your not brave enough to get in ice cold water then all you'll enjoy is seeing the clear waters and fish. The food is delicious, but the fun is swimming among the fish.

DON’T GO unless you speak Portuguese After listening to a 30min speech with a few pictures you are excited to come to the highlight: taking pictures with 2 snakes around your neck. First comes first serve so you get a clearly visible number at the entrance. So far so good so simple, but when it was my turn (my Portuguese is good enough to understand the numbers) the lady called my number and within less than a second the next number leading to some discussion. Shit happens, all good. But after the other lady responsible for handing over the big yellow snake also COMPLETELY ignored me and walked out of the room without giving me the chance to take a picture with Mrs.Boa I got angry and did not feel welcome. I paid 50Rs extra for these pictures. She couldn’t have missed this as she was sitting next to the cashier and she couldn’t have missed the fact that I am not a native speaker. Again: not recommended unless you speak Portuguese as it is too expensive for what you get.
Carsten — Google review
I liked it, very informative and even a little funny. Henrique is very passionate about the topic and knows a lot about them. His mission is to teach as many people as possible about serpents. The only thing I have to say is: don't go if you don't understand Portuguese. As the owner speaks fluent English, it would be very helpful if he'd also have the translation, even if on his television where he shows a few clips. He speaks very fast Portuguese and if you're not very fluent you'll miss a lot. My daughter was raised overseas, but understands Portuguese, during the show she was bored because it didn't capture her attention.

(Translated by Google) The tour was great. The park has several stops for swimming, a really cool zipline, and some waterfalls you can jump from. Our guide was Pablo, a very upbeat guy with tons of energy, always encouraging us to jump and swim under the waterfalls. The contact with nature with animals like 🐐🐒🦜 (Original) Foi muito bom o passeio. O parque dispõe de várias paradas para banho um tirolesa muito legal e algumas cachoeiras que dá pra saltar. Nosso Guia foi o Pablo, um cara muito alto astral com uma energia massa, sempre nos motivando a saltar e nadar para banho em baixo das cachoeiras. O contato com a natureza com animais como 🐐🐒🦜

(Translated by Google) The trip along the Rio do Peixe was undoubtedly the most "relaxed" I experienced in Bonito. It's a very pleasant trail, with several stops for a refreshing dip. Upon arrival, as usual, we received instructions about the activity. Anyone who wanted could borrow a life jacket. The trail began with breathtaking views, and the farm dog decided to be our canine guide, accompanying us the entire way. We passed several bridges that, Indiana Jones-style, swayed a lot. I confess I was a little nervous on some of them. During the swim stops, fun was guaranteed: waterfalls, zip lines, diving boards, and even a daring jump into a hole for the more fearless. To end the day of adventure, we returned to the headquarters, where a delicious lunch awaited us. And, as a lively bonus, we also got to see several monkeys getting up to their tricks. (Original) O passeio no Rio do Peixe foi, sem dúvida, o mais “tranquilinho” que experimentei em Bonito. É uma trilha bem de boa, com várias paradas para um mergulho refrescante. Logo na chegada, como de praxe, recebemos as instruções sobre a atividade. Quem quisesse, podia pegar um colete salva-vidas. A trilha começou com paisagens de encher os olhos, e, o cachorrinho da fazenda decidiu ser nosso guia canino, nos acompanhando o tempo todo. Passamos por várias pontes que, no estilo Indiana Jones, balançavam muito. Confesso que fiquei um tanto nervosa em algumas delas. Nas paradas para banho, a diversão foi garantida: cachoeiras, tirolesa, prancha para saltos e até um corajoso salto em um buraco para os mais destemidos. Para encerrar o dia de aventuras, voltamos para a sede, onde um delicioso almoço nos aguardava. E, como um bônus animado, ainda pudemos observar vários macaquinhos aprontando suas peripécias por ali.

(Translated by Google) One of the best tours, a wonderful lunch. The guide is very cool and involved, the tour is done in two stages, the first lasts about 3 and a half hours in the morning until 1:00 pm, after that we have lunch which is wonderful and complete, and after resting, at 2:30 pm we do another part until 4:00 pm, a full day tour. The place is beautiful and in direct contact with nature, the trail is not difficult, I recommend it to everyone, several stops for swimming, between 9 and 12 stops, some waterfalls, 3 zip lines and 2 diving board jumps, as well as a free jump from a 4 meter drop. It is possible to swim with several fish and in different areas. (Original) Um dos melhores passeios, um almoço maravilhoso. O Guia é muito bacana e participativo, o passeio é realizado em duas etapas, a primeira dura cerca de 3 horas e meia na parte da manhã até as 13:00, após isso ocorre o almoço que é maravilhoso e completo, e após descanso, 14:30 fazemos mais uma parte até as 16 horas, passeio de dia todo. O lugar é lindo e contato direto com a natureza, a trilha não é difícil, recomendo a todos, diversas paradas pra banho, entre 9 a 12 paradas, algumas cachoeiras, 3 tirolesas e 2 saltos de trampolim, além de um salto livre de uma queda de 4 metros. É possível nadar com diversos peixes e em áreas diferentes.

(Translated by Google) It was amazing. On the way we saw a wild dog running along the side of the road and an anaconda. You can rent a life jacket there, which is great because it provides support. They don't provide wetsuits, which are great for children in winter. We got there and saw blue macaws. It was unbelievable. We thought they weren't real, but the guides confirmed it. Our guide was amazing. He even lent me a pair of shorts that I had forgotten at the Bonsay Hotel. He jumped into a rainbow waterfall to encourage people who were scared. The entire trail is very clean and wide. There is a slightly long walk, but it's not difficult. The food is amazing. There are lots of salads and dishes. It's already included in the tour. At least the voucher we got already included lunch. It was divine. At the end, the owner even calls the macaws to pose and take pictures. It's surreal. (Original) Sensacional, no caminho vimos cachorro do mato correndo na beira da estrada e uma sucuri, no local pode-se locar colete salva-vidas que é legal por ser um apoio, não fornecem roupa de neoprene que no inverno é um bom apoio para as crianças. Chegamos lá e ja vimos araras azuis, inacreditável, pensamos que não eram mas os guias nos confirmaram. Nosso guia foi sensacional, até me emprestou uma bermuda que esqueci a minha no hotel Bonsay, pulou em uma cachoeira do arco íris para encorajar o pessoal que estava com medo. Toda a trilha é bem limpa e ampla, tem uma caminha que é levemente longa porém sem dificuldades. A comida é sensacional, muitas saladas e pratos, ja inclusa no passei, pelo menos o voucher que pegamos ja estava incluso o almoço, divino. No fnal o proprietário ainda chama as araras para posar e tirar fotos, surreal.

(Translated by Google) The guide Rodrigo seems to love what he does. He was the only one on all the tours who actually went into the waterfalls. He was patient with everyone and super friendly without being evasive. I saw a huge variety of fish, birds, and monkeys. This was the place where lunch was super tasty and had the most variety. If you're lucky, you can even take pictures with the macaws. (Original) O guia Rodrigo parece amar o que faz, ele foi o único em todos os passeios que realmente entrava nas cachoeiras, tinha paciência com todos, super simpático sem ser evasivo.

Our experience here reflects the fundamental change to the Bonito experience during the past 20 years. In 1994, on my first visit to the town of Bonito, in all the attractions, including cave visits, we had to sign off a waiver of responsibility to the business owners and then enjoyed the attraction however we could. It was cheap, but if you had an accident, well, tough luck - you signed a waiver after all. Nowadays we certainly pay much more, but fill out an insurance form and the visit is closely supervised in the safest way possible. Unfortunately, today we found that out in the worst way possible. My wife slipped on the stairway down to the entrance of the cave and broke her wrist. The staff was quick and professional to perform rescue, first aid and accompany us to the hospital. They even paid for the meds and arranged an appointment with a traumatologist on the same day. So, please, watch your steps. But do know that should something bad happen, the business will assist you to the end.

Beautiful day at a very special place !! Parque Ecológico Rio Formoso is a very special place for our family that we visit each time we come to Bonito. The staff are very welcoming and as soon as we exited the car they were there to greet us and explain the necessary instructions. The Boia Cross tour is a great, we experienced the beauty and peace of the Rio Formoso while also enjoying the rapids at various points. The guides for the boia cross are always a lot of fun and make the tour fun and pleasurable.... The horse riding tour is also very memorable riding through the nature of the farm and forest for 2 hours and stopping half way for a swim in the Rio formoso close to some pleasant rapids... An added bonus is after the tours you can relax and swim as long as you want besides the large lagoon where they have stand up paddle, paddle boats and a flying fox which is really cool and relaxing and fun for everyone....

We had a fun Boai Cross with Pablo and Markus. The place is beautiful and the stuff very friendly. We had Pablo as english speaking guide and that was great. His english is good and we had no problems in communication. The ride is not like river rafting but a fun and happy experience. We are glad doing this here. After the river we enjoyed staying at the lake.

I did the boio cross and although it wasn't the non-stop thrill that rafting often is, it was still a lot of fun. The guides were fabulous. They didn't speak English but did a great job of making sure I knew all the safety rules (I also suspect there are English speaking guides if requested), and they were great at making it a fun and memorable experience. When not toppling down one of five waterfalls you can appreciate the tranquility of the beautiful Formosa River - looking at the trees rather than looking under the water like most other tours in this area. And if you're there early or want to stay later, you can enjoy the park itself - swimming in the clear watered lake, using the tirolesa (flying fox/ hand supported zip line), paddleboards or kayaks. This park really is hours of fun. Oh - and they sell Black Lemon icecream - yum!!

I really don't understand the hype. I am not a geologist or an expert of any kind in these things. So maybe, just maybe, I don't get how special it his. It is definitely a nice cave and it's well organized how you get down with the lift and they take could care of safety. Inside its interesting. But the amount of money they charge is in no relation. That's just insane. No matter if you dive or not, that's too much. The mimoso cave has a way better price value ratio. Specifically if you wanna scuba dive. Do think twice, if you want to invest this money.

Um buraco escuro inundado, pra mim essa é a descrição mais real do local, as fotos ficaram muito boas ativando o modo noturno no celular pessoalmente é só uma caverna escura alagada. Pra mim serviu pra nunca mais pagar para entrar numa caverna fria alagada e escura.

It's a nice park to visit with family, friends or alone. It's the center of Bonito city, and surrounding the park you can easily find gifts and souvenirs stores, clothing stores, restaurants, tourism agencies and more. It doesn't have public restrooms, it does have a little scenario and sometimes there are music shows there, specially during weekends. There are a few parking spots, but they are usually not available in the afternoon/evening/night due to big crowds, so if you want to park your car there, you should go super early.

If you like small waterfalls and jumping in and out of different cold river pools then this is your tour. No English spoken so we would have had no idea what was going on if it wasn't for another person on the tour. However, the 155m underwater cave at the end is almost worth the visit on its own. There is some wikd life but not a great deal. The Fazenda is lovely, there is a lake for kayaks, horse riding, a lovely lunch and cheap drink. If it is the snorkelling that attracts you, then opt for Rio Prata instead.
Matt F — Google review
This place is far away from a true nature experience, but it depends on what you like. We booked the day tour for "hiking" to some waterfalls, but it was actually only some few meters of walking from waterfall to waterfall with too many photo stops where people lined up to get a good shot for their social media. Swimming, jumping into the water etc. is also possible. A short snorkel section was also part of the tour, but everything around Bonito is strictly regulated so that you can only snorkel within set lines here. Even though some extra activities as well as a small breakfast and snack in the afternoon are included, it's far too overpriced for us. 3 stars for the clean and well-organised farm, great food at lunch and the beautiful preserved parts of nature. If you're looking for a swimming experience with nice waterfalls, you might enjoy it, but don't expect a wildlife tour.

It is well worth it as the cave is fascinating albeit smaller than a cathedral. Our guide was very well informed.

This was a last minute decision to visit and we were so pleased to go! What a fascinating cave with so many different formations. It is a privilege to be able to get so close, in some areas even touch such old formations built over millions of years. It is well planned and cared for with informative guides ( unsure if they have any English speaking ones). To be in and a walk around an area formed during the Pangea time literally the bottom of an ocean! We were in awe and thought it to be more informative and just as if not more Interisting than the Gruta do Lago Azul. If you need to stay dry for a few hours and in our case it was super cold in town this is an excellent choice to pass time.

Small caves with some pretty formations. The more interesting parts are in the rock surfaces - strange and beautiful patterns - grey circles, vertical striations and a couple of colour changes because of the iron on the soil. The guide knows basic information about cave formations but didn't not appear to know much about the more interesting things. Seeing my interest though, the guide have me a flash light so I could look at the rocks more closely which was thoughtful of him. I'm not sure if there is an English speaking guide available.

(Translated by Google) Perfect for diving, clear but very cold waters In many tourist destinations, water resources are the main elements of tourist potential and attraction. The practice of tourism using water as an attraction attributes value to the quality of water, since for tourism to take place, it must have characteristics that exert the power of attraction and satisfaction of the tourist. The Formoso River basin is the main hydrographic basin of the municipality of Bonito-MS and a large part of the tourist attractions of the municipality are related to water and inserted in it. This article sought to analyze the perception of tourists after contact with water, aiming to understand the importance of water for tourism activity from the perspective of tourists, in the Formoso River basin. The research was developed based on a bibliographic review and application and analysis of interviews with tourists. In the evaluation of the results, it was found that water exerts a power of attraction and that the transparency of the water is one of the main attractions of Bonito.
