Gruta do Lago Azul Natural Monument is a must-see destination in Bonito, known for its breathtaking cavernous space adorned with stalactites and stalagmites. The highlight of the monument is the transparent lake with vibrant blue water at the bottom of the cavern. Visitors can explore various natural attractions such as rivers, lakes, crystal clear pools, and diverse marine life. The area also offers opportunities to observe birds and wild animals while hiking trails that lead to stunning waterfalls.
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 😉
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
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.
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.
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.

Abismo Anhumas is a remarkable underground lake that attracts divers with its stunning rock formations and crystal-clear waters. It offers a unique experience for adventure enthusiasts, providing opportunities for abseiling and diving in the vast cavern adorned with stalactites. The site also boasts an ochre-colored depression called Buraco das Araras, where flocks of macaws nest.
Most spectacular place to dive; fear-inspiring rappelling down 72 into a cave system seen by very few eyes! Sleek operation; care taken to offer training in rappelling the day before - Abysmo Anhumas was one of the highlights of my life!

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.
Cool place, fun ride down with the electric cable chair, cool dive, lots of formations underwater, then a boat ride around the lake to hear a bit more about the place. Only downside is the high price.
Amazing place
(Translated by Google) What a wonderful experience! We took the tour on 04/10/2025. We went diving, which was incredible. The people who were working that day were very welcoming. The beauty of the abyss is unique, it was our favorite tour in Bonito. The descent is very safe and the boat ride is very peaceful. I recommend it.
(Original)
Que experiência maravilhosa! Fizemos o passeio no dia 10/04/2025. Fizemos o mergulho que foi incrível. O pessoal que estava trabalhando no dia foi muito receptivo. A beleza do abismo é única, foi o nosso passeio preferido em bonito. A descida é muito segura e o passeio de barco é muito tranquilo. Recomendo.
(Translated by Google) It was the best experience I've ever had on a tour in Bonito! A radical electric rappel descent with incredible views of the cave, crystal-clear waters, and several limestone cone formations. I definitely recommend it!

Foi a melhor experiência que já tive em passeios em Bonito! Descida radical de rapel elétrico com uma incrível paisagem da caverna com águas cristalinas e várias formações de cones de calcário, recomendo sem dúvida!
(Translated by Google) I went in August, and it was very cold that day, but regardless, I didn't find it pleasant. A dark, flooded hole—for me, that's the most realistic description of the place. The photos turned out really well even with night mode on my phone. In person, it's just a dark, flooded cave. It helped me never pay to enter a cold, flooded, dark cave again.
(Original)
Fui em agosto, estava muito frio no dia mas independente disso não achei nada agradável. 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.
I went to Abismo today and can recommend to any divers. Unique experience and well run. Ronnie looked after us. I believe snorkelling is also catered for. Pretty cool. Cater for English speakers

Hiking area
Estância Mimosa Ecotourism in Bonito, MS is a nature lover's paradise offering a range of activities such as hiking trails, horseback riding, and the chance to swim in natural pools and under waterfalls. As part of the Rio da Prata Group, it has won awards for its sustainability efforts and is dedicated to preserving the environment.

A lot to see, not to hard trail and a lot of nice places to swim.
Tobias S — Google review
Very nice trip even for kids. Water is cold but you get used to it. Includes a little boat trip. Good meal and good guide. Bring water shoes otherwise you can rent them there.
I recently took a tour of the waterfalls, and while the natural beauty is absolutely breathtaking, I found the overall experience somewhat disappointing. It seems a private company has taken over the entire area, dictating what you can and cannot do, which really detracted from the experience.
Everything is very organised, but this comes at the cost of freedom. You have no flexibility with your time or the places you visit, as you're required to follow the guide everywhere. Honestly, the trail is so easy to navigate that the guide feels unnecessary.
If you're looking for a place to spend your time freely, I wouldn't recommend this tour. It seems more suited for families who appreciate a structured environment. For those seeking a more independent adventure, there are surely better options out there.
We took a hike through nature and passing by 8 waterfalls, and it was fantastic. Beautiful landscapes, all very nicely organized and safe, and a super kind and helpful guide, Felipe. Totally reccomend!
Guilherme was a great guide. Lots of waterfalls you can swim in!
Excellent place to enjoy nature, try a variety of local foods, and support an environmentally-friendly farm and business! Our hiking guide, Filippa, was very pleasant, knowledgeable, and helpful. Many thoughtful features here made this a safe, comfortable, authentic experience!
Amazing. Small groups. Lots of space to swim and take photographs. Saw some great animals. And the lunch was delicious.
Wonderful nature, excellent structure, great staff, and delicious local food! Maybe Estancia Mimosa is the best touristic destination in Bonito-MS.

Eco Park Porto da Ilha offers a variety of outdoor activities for the whole family. Visitors can enjoy rafting and buoy-cross on the Rio Formoso, pedal water bikes, row inflatable kayaks, or try stand-up paddle. For those seeking more adrenaline, there's the option to rappel into the Salobra River canyon. The park also features boat trips, duck rides, electric boats, and a restaurant for dining.
Nice place, clean, friendly and fun for adults and children. Only Portuguese language. English is close to not available anywhere. Good to have a native Brazilian with you 🤔😉

Fantastic day at EcoPark
Our bote and duck guides Edimar and Paulo Ricardo were fantastic
Great food and service in the restaurant, beautiful river and well equipped facilities
We will come back !!!
A beautiful natural plsce that has some amazing activities with friendly fun staff that making it even more special.
Quite amazing what this place has done with natural resources and a minimalist approach by not destroying the area.
There is probly level 2 rapid falls for canoes/kayak a tubing area for a laugh and also a great area for SUP (stand up paddle board) you need to book in the main town of Bonito and make sure you have reliable transportation to get to and from there as its quite a distance away
Enjoy!!!
Had a fun time, and did the activity of the boat trip. Do want to mention one odd event that disappointed me in the venue. We were with only a few foreigner (non-portuguese speaking) people in a boat together with a person from Asia. I noticed multiple employees as well as some of the other portuguese attendees calling, shouting and making fun of the attendee from Asia calling him all sorts of Asian words they knew in portuguese. Felt like bullying which was very unnecessary and left a scar on the day.

We had an amazing time today at the Porto da Ilha. Because we only speak English we had Gian who learned us everything about the park. He helped us translate the explanation of the activities and we could go to him if we had questions. We had a combo trip with the Stand up paddle, Boia cross and the Bote and it was amazing. Ordered some great food at the restaurant. I would really recommend to go on this trip. Thanks again Gian (and the rest of the staff)!
Nice experience. We booked the boat combo. Food is good. Good for kids.
Awesome! Loved the Passeio de Bote, alot of fun and beautiful.

Ecological park
Buraco das Araras Private Natural Heritage Reserve is a must-visit in Bonito, offering various activities such as macaw-spotting, river tubing, zip lining, horseback riding, and waterfall hikes. The reserve is home to diverse wildlife and features the largest sinkhole in South America with a diameter of 160 meters and a depth of 100 meters. Visitors can enjoy an easy trail leading to the edge of the impressive hole in the ground.
Very cool and special place. Like with all attractions around Bonito, you have to buy your tickets in advance at a tour agency in the city. You will then do a walk around the whole, two platforms to look out from. Around 120 parrots are living here, making a lot of noise and super cool to just watch at. They fly a lot around. The guide spoke English very well and shared great knowledge.

Very nice to see how they restored the nature in this area and repopulated it again with the fantastic aras that’s just beautiful to watch
What the film Rio is apparently based on. Best visited early morning or late afternoon as that's where most of the birds are around. Prebooking is essential.
Go early morning or late afternoon. Otherwise the birds will be resting
Nice and small park, perfect for a half day. A bit of walking through the jungle and you arrive at a clearing in front of a huge craterlike natural structure . It is here that the red Araras or parrots nest. Nice to see and specially hear the birds!
Very cool. Lots of the scarlet macaws. I would recomend binoculars or a very good camera with a super zoom. The hole is 32 stories deep and there are large gators and anacondas at the bottom to see too.
Insane beautiful! You can see large species of birds...like Tucano and Red Araras (Brazilian Parrots). Infrastructure very good!! Worth every penny!
Many araras and an easy walk through the forest to the sink hole. It's much bigger than I imagined and worth the visit. The guide was also very good using English and Portuguese.

Waterfall Boca da Onca is a must-visit destination for adventure seekers. It boasts a 156m-high cascade, perfect for swimming and hiking. The area also offers opportunities to witness the fluctuation in the Sucuri and Natural Aquarium rivers, as well as explore other nearby attractions like Parque das Cachoeiras, Serra da Bodoquena waterfalls, Lagoa Misteriosa, and Abismo Anhumas.
This is a must visit place in Bodaquena! The trail is just surreal; it feels like heaven. It's hard climb and descend at some places, but is worth it! The staff as in any other place in bonito are very well organized. The only place which serves you delicious food in the region ! I just wish that there was more water it would have increased the beauty of the places
Sumeeth P — Google review
It it supposed to be a beautiful waterfall, except that they don’t inform you at the time of the booking when it’s dry! Beware of this when considering the tour - it’s dry from around March to October, as the guide told us.
We visited in August 2025.
Amazing adventure!!!! I highly recommend water shoes that can be used for hiking!! Be prepared to Walk A Lot !!! Tons of stairs !!! But my wife and I Loved it!!! A truly memorable experience. And our guide Paulo was the best
beautiful place, excellent waterfalls and baths, good meals in the farm
An amazingly unforgettable experience with the family. The guides are extremely attentive and informative, the mixture of trail walking and swimming in the natural pools are surreal. Highly recommend the 90m abseiling option, careful if you have a bad back though.
There's a lot to see and do, so if you're an avid photographer you don't have long to contemplate your angles and exposures, so don't drag your heels.
If you have a drone, best to opt for the VIP package as you're not allowed to use if you're in a larger group.
Enjoy to the fullest.
I guess pretty good in general, but we have been here during a very dry period and all waterfalls were completely dry. Still a pretty hike though.
The stars for this review are just for the guide, she was fantastic, the tour was the opposite. The area hadn't had rain for a fair while when I did the tour so instead of beautiful water features we got dry waterfalls and mostly stagnant pools.
I'd done a waterfall tour at a Fazenda in the area the day before that was able to put on a terrific display despite the dry conditions. The administration and owners of Boca da onca know they are selling an inferior product and that is putting it most charitably, some might call it fraudulent advertising. They don't seem to have a plan b or alternate routes and sights to see during the dry months.
My advice would be to do some research (like I should have done instead of believing everything I saw on the internet) and make sure they've had enough rain to get the falls going before booking tickets.
The highlight of this dismal experience was our guide, she was fantastic and made the best of a bad situation.
I would not do this tour again having been sold a lie.
Amazing! No doubt a must do activity in Bonito! Great guide, beautiful waterfalls to see and swim in, but a lot of steps. Definitely add the lunch! #eunobocadaonca

Grutas de São Miguel is one of the notable caves in Bonito, along with Gruta Sao Mateus and Gruta do Lago Azul. The latter features a stunning sapphire and tourmaline lake 330 feet below the surface, making it one of the largest water-filled caves on Earth. The natural monument is protected under conservation statuses, offering limited tours daily.
So beautiful to visit. Love the tour, perhaps too many people at a time

Super cool experience and a great introduction to the Bonito area. Our guide was very informative and we learned a lot about the formation of the caves and the history. Definitely recommend especially for those with kids.
You will get to see various formations of stalagmites in various stages, which means different shapes, textures, etc.
It's an average cavern. Our guide didn't speak any English so the tour was a complete waste of money
Very nice trip too see the stalactites and stalagmites. Very good guide who takes good fotos.
Nice place, Natural limestone caves, billions of years old. good guide ready to amswer all your questions. but keep in mind you have to go down a lot of steps. Its nice
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.
Amazing experience, great guides and the infrastructure is very good! Would always recommend visiting if you come to Bonito!

Snorkeling downstream allows guests to marvel at the vibrant underwater flora, creating an immersive experience akin to being inside a real aquarium.
Great experience, even for me that I am afraid of the water! Loved
Ruan is a good guide and good instructor!

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.
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.
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.
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.

(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.

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.

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.

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.

Se tiver sorte ainda faz fotos com as Araras.
Hiking area
Recanto Ecológico Rio da Prata in Bonito, MS is an ecotourism destination that offers a variety of activities such as snorkeling, scuba diving, horseback riding, and birdwatching. The tour begins with a pleasant walk through the riparian of Prata River and an interpretive trail where visitors can observe various trees, orchids, bromeliads, mammals, and different species of birds.
Best experience we did so far in Brazil. Half day activity swimming/floating with some small hikes and afterwards lunch. You will see a lot of fishes. Very safe and well organised. Fantastic location/river. They do pics along the trip (paid extra). You get all necessary equipment but can also bring along your own mask/snorkel/watershoes. I recommend to put dry clothes in one of the bags and give to your guide at the start so you are not wet on the short bus trip back. I hope the nature can be sustained as long as possible. Of course you need to book in advance with some of the agencies as everywhere in and around bonito

We loved our day here. The lunch was unbelievable - and I’m a vegetarian.
The snorkelling tour was out of this world with crystal clear waters, millions of fish and expertly guided by Fabian (we think - sorry!) who was able to speak to us in great English as we embarrassingly have no Portuguese.
The ranch itself was an amazing place to relax with tonnes of wildlife (toucans everywhere!)
We would highly recommend this tour to anyone - thank you 😁
What a wonderful experience at this ecological preserve! The natural springs provide crystal clear water for this snorkeling experience. It was so nice to relax and watch fish that previously we had only seen in fish stores in the United States! Immersed in such beautiful surroundings while snorkeling with Nadia, our group guide, was magical. Nadia speaks English well and is a biologist. The river experience was followed by an amazing lunch!!
What an amazing experience. The staff are absolutely amazing, even for this gringo!
The quality of the establishment, the equipment was fantastic. Thats all before you start your experience. The river snorkelling is an experience you do not want to miss. You do not need to be a great swimmer, you wear safety float vest and the river moves you. The nature walking (approximately 3 breaks walking in 400m total. So not difficult).
Bring your waterproof cameras/mobile phones. No gear required all supplied.
And the lunch afterwards was amazing.
The day is relaxing, with hammock's to rest afterwards too.
Highly recommend, not an experience I have found all over the world..
Graham from Australia
Relaxing, beautiful and well trained team.
The food is great, is mandatory to try the “doce de leite”.
A lot of animals to see through the floating.
Amazing Nature aquarium. Horse riding around the farm was wonderful.
Wonderful place! Very well preserved. Awesome flotation on the river. Lots of fishes to see. Amazing traditional local food,
The property is very well set out and the ecological and environmental aspects are very important to the owners and all staff. The river snorkel swim was first rate. So clear!
Equipment was well maintained. Lunch was great. Highly recommended!

Nascente Azul is an ecotourism complex in Bonito that offers a variety of attractions for visitors. The area was previously degraded by livestock but has been transformed into a popular destination with beautiful landscapes, diverse wildlife, and plant life. Visitors can enjoy activities such as diving, zip lining, and exploring trails while also taking advantage of amenities like a restaurant and changing rooms.
The best place to visit in Bonito - MS. Really, is a beautiful place, with nature and loads of activities and attractions combined. Incredible food and drinks. I would also like to thank a lot Marcos and Allison, the waiters, for the exceptional hospitality and support. Very helpful and always smiling. Me and my family really enjoyed the experience. Only the prices that are way too expensive but same in the whole city.

Had an awesome experience here and would highly recommend it for English speakers. The staff went out of their way to explain things to me in English the best they could which made the snorkeling tour easy to enjoy despite going solo and with my minimum understanding of Portuguese.
Also, the food was incredible and so far the most vegan options I've found in Brazil!
Even in winter the water was more than warm enough to swim without a wetsuit if you're used to English water.
We wanted to do all floating experiences, so we did Cave, river and Spring. Spring being the case here, it was different from the others, the water is a little "foggier" but there are a LOT more fish to see and swim with. if you are polite and careful, can be great, it is one of the most delicate environments we saw there, still I recommend.
Very good place to spend The day, specially with kids
Amazing!!!!! Awesome!!!! Special thanks to Mr. Zezinho, and the Chef. The Pintado with Urucum sauce was speechless Just love it !!
The park itself is nice if you go with children or adolescents, they will enjoy it very much.
But the main reason why I went there was to snorkel in the Nascente Azul, and even though the activity was supposed to last 2 hours and 30 minutes, the guide showed up 15 minutes late and left us 30 before the end, so in total it lasted 1 hour and 45 minutes. But the worst of all is that we only spend 20 minutes in the water snorkeling; the place itself is amazingly beautiful, but the guide was rushing us all the time and didn't let us enjoy the activity. They spend more time taking photographs and videos of you (which they try to sell to you later, of course, at a high price) than snorkeling.
So, even though the place is stunning (and that's why I give 2 stars and not 1), I wouldn't recommend coming here if your main motivation is snorkeling. I would go to Rio da Prata instead.
This is an excellent place for you to come and spend the day with the family. I definitely recommend the river snorkeling and the zip lining. Overall this is a place that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The drive here is also very pleasant as you do so via a dirt road with amazing views.

Parque das Cachoeiras, located 18 kilometers from Bonito, is a nature lover's paradise with six beautiful waterfalls, small grottoes, and invigorating springs perfect for swimming. Nearby Estancia Mimosa offers an additional seventh waterfall and a delightful home-cooked lunch at the fazenda house.
It was kind of dry when I went there, but I had fun.. our Guide, Djuliane was super helpful, she was very knowledgeable and made the experience even better. Highly recommended if you go in April.

The water was freezing, and the Balneario wasn’t worth the money. It was dirty and full of sharp rocks; you can go for the waterfalls, but it's not a big deal; the receptionist was rude, too. I don’t recommend this place.
Beautiful hike and a chance to dip into a several different waterfalls in one go and a nice place to have lunch afterwards - uncommonly many healthy options🥗
Tour was also available in spanish too!
highly recommend. we had Carolina as our guide. she was awesome. very beautiful tour.
Excelente trip! It takes about an hour and a half. You can meet 7 waterfalls. There is a parking lot.
One of the most beautiful places I have ever seen, lindo, Bonito. Words cannot express how beautiful this experience is, paradise it is just amazing, you are able to swim and relax at each water fall and swim with ipiraputanga indigenous fish of the area. God made a beautiful earth for us to enjoy and care for. Loved this beautiful amazing place a must for those who visit Brazil. BONITO 🙏🏼🙏🏼👍👍👍👍👍💦

Casa do João is a renowned restaurant in Bonito, known for its traditional cuisine and warm atmosphere. Managed by chef Felipe Caran, the restaurant's signature dish is the boneless traira, expertly fried to perfection. Additionally, Casa do João is celebrated for serving typical Pantanal dishes such as moqueca pantaneira, a tantalizing blend of pintado fish, cassava, palm oil, and plantains.
Amazing place, very good and special food and the service and staff is top notch! They did everything to keep the kids busy and happy. They have a very nice play area and also a small exhibition to see old cameras, radio antiques in general. They have alligator meat which was pretty amazing and special! I highly recommend this restaurant one of the best places we had lunch in bonito!

Our server Marcus was excellent, the owner João came to the table to greet us. Highly recommended.
The soup was delicious , the steak not the best at all , rare as i ask but dry
We came to this restaurant to celebrate the amazing time we are having in Bonito. Our impression about the food and people of this Bonito place was not different at Casa do João. Delicious food and drinks and warm people. We will definitely come back.
Thank you Rafael for giving us the best service.
Shout out to Marcos, the waiter for the great service and attention. Huge serving of great tasting food.
The place is huge and has a big capacity to accept many people. I was by myself, but they were so friendly and helped me to have some good authentic food! The owner came out to say hi to each table which was so sweet :) oh and the beer was great😋
Great food. Especially the farofa that is amazing. The french fries are good but I think that there's to much corn starch. The restaurant have an little great musiam, a little store, is very artistic, it's well illuminated, have a crocodile statue and one well. But the food it's expensive. The waiters are nice and the food wait is medium.

Very cute places to see all types of birds. Very superingly, they have an English guide, which is not common in Bonito. I'm very sorry that I forgot her name, a young lady speaking great English. I was very happy having the tour with her. She introduced a lot extra info to me. She earns 5 stars for this place. I do hope that the trial can be a bit longer, now it is around 1h. The price is bit high, but I'm willing to pay for the guide.
Great place for bird watching. The staff is professional and the nature is well preserved
Great view on the red and green macaw !
We had a great time at the Buraco das Araras. We took the tour at 16:20 and saw lots of red macaws as well as 1 yellow & blue one. Furthermore we saw 3 armadillos, various other birds and a Kaiman. Our guide and translator the young Caugã (sorry if I misspelled the name 🙈😅) was very knowledgeable, patient and nice 👍
100% recommendation
We really enjoyed our tour to Buraco das Araras. Special thanks to our guide Kennedy, who was very passionate about the place, the animals, and he spoke good English. Despite wet weather we managed to see the macaws, toucans, kingfishers and even an armadillo!
The place is a wonderful way to see the beautiful Macaw or “Arara” in portugues. I highly recommend English speakers to learn to say Arara. Its original name in Brazil.
You have the opportunity to witness many of these large colorful birds flying together and making their prehistoric sounds, which is music to a bird lovers ears. Be sure to listen to the guide speak on the history of the location.
Lots of beautiful parrots and other birds. Wonderful moment with a great guide

Gruta Catedral, also known as Gruta Sao Mateus, is a captivating cave in Bonito, Brazil. It features stunning rock formations and crystal-clear waters. The cave is home to the Kadiweu Museum, which showcases historical items and a collection of 1970s automobiles. Visitors are drawn to the expertise of the guides who provide insightful tours of the cave, adding an educational element to the experience.
This cave system is reached via a forest path, guided in a timed group which you must reserve beforehand at a tour agency in Bonito. It is well worth it as the cave is fascinating albeit smaller than a cathedral. Our guide was very well informed. There is also a small museum with old fashioned trucks, typewriters, calculators and many other unrelated objects and a little information about the origins of the Fazenda Rincão Bonito, which gave its name to the town.
Alistair C — Google review
The Saint Matthew Grotto was very enjoyable and family friendly.
While you wait for the tour to start there's a museum boasting articles used by the locals throughout the decades as well stuffed animals donated by the local authorities.
The Grotto itself goes at about 50 meters deep into the ground and the guide will give you a vast amount of information about the cave as well as the local nature elements.
Half of the fun was due to Galvão, the tour guide, who has educated his followers about different aspects of the cave, including the wish room, ;).
The tour guides are great! The cave is nice but not overwhelming. The museum is a joke. Old stuff from everywhere without any explanation.
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.
Great experience. Though the actual cave length is alot shorter than I expected. It is pretty magical inside the cave. Bring a light jacket as the cave temp is cooler than outside. Jacket will also help protect from some of the mosquitos inside.

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.

Gruta do Mimoso is an exceptional place that captivates visitors with its breathtaking underwater world. Despite its unassuming entrance, descending the stairs reveals a magnificent maritime universe waiting to be explored through diving and snorkeling. The cave offers a unique experience as sunlight filters in, illuminating the rock formations and creating a mesmerizing sight. With attentive guides and rich historical insights, this destination is perfect for both adventure seekers and geology enthusiasts alike.
We had the luck of being there during the roughly 30 minutes that sunlight shines directly inside the cave, and the result of that is breathtaking. The snorkeling area is not too big, you can see everything within a few minutes, so take your time, relax and enjoy the experience.
Douglas P — Google review
If you are not diving it's not worth it. I don't understand why you need a helmet if all stalagmites are cut off (you can hardly hit anything with your head). It's too expensive for what you experience (240 reales). Most of the trip is walking and taking selfies. You can't dive without the vest. What you see on the photo is all there is.
I booked the diving activity, that is sold as a "2 hours activity".
In reality it was an hour in total and less than 30min in the water... I was expecting more for this price.
While in the cave, I had the feeling that I couldn't take the time to admire this beautiful space... very frustrating.
In addition, the monitor is supposed to take pictures of us. He took 3 poor pictures at the entrance but absolutely not at the beautiful spots of the cave...
The place is beautiful, those who enjoy geology have a full plate. Good historical footprint of the guide too, which will probably be the same
The facilities were excellent and it was very well organised. We felt like the guide wasn't too interested in the cave and we didn't get much info about it, how it was formed, etc. there wasn't much to the cave if just doing the floating, it was cool but you only need 5 mins to see it all. I would look into others in the area or save floating for the rivers. Can't comment on the diving as we didn't do it, but you go further in so may have been a more worthwhile experience here.
The floating in this cave is nice and different from floating in a river. Nice to have some variation. Guide spoke a minimal amount of English, would have been nice to have some more information on the cave as well, which was only in Portuguese.
Amazing! Diving is well worth it. Allows you to view all rock formations. The guides are very attentive and are 100% whatchful

Not so sure how much is this place worth a visit since it is relatively very simple compared to other activities you can do in the area or bonito. If you have kids it might be nice to go. But the animals are not super special, it is more of a project that help animals with problems they help them recover but keep them there. If you have been to buy zoos you would enjoy it much. The staff are super duper nice and friendly.
A great experience, the staff took us to visit all kinds of animals, and happily interacted with the small animals
Such a lovely little tour, you see some amazing animals and the guides are so lovely. I am English and they took the care to translate all of their information as we went round which was really great of them. Highly recommend.
Very nice and friendly staff. Around 9 people working for a project to rescue and take care of abandoned or injured animals. It's not a big area but you can see some of the typical animals around. It is worth to visit and also voluntarily do a small donation
Lovely small shelter for wild animals that cannot live in the wild - good cause and great opportunity to see ant eaters, toucans and other local animals in close. Kids loved it ✨
And best of all - you can get your tour in english! Thanks Jade, you were awesome 🫡❤️
We have visited the park with two kids and it has been great. The guide (Jade) could speak fluent English and she supplied a lot of interesting information about each animal, its history, anatomy and diet. She has been extremely friendly and competent. The whole place is very nicely arranged and they help animals with difficult experiences including trafficking, that would otherwise not be able to survive alone in the wild. I strongly suggest a visit to the park
Great experience and service. Well worth a visit if interested in animals in Pantanal and others

It was an awesome experience! Nice people, beautiful place and great food! 10/10
We visited in August 2025.
Positives:
- good guide
- good food
Negatives:
- no one tells you in advance that Boca da Onça waterfall is dried out (other waterfalls also affected!) during the dry season (March to October)
- there are construction works on the territory of the estate: as a consequence, no swimming pools (the one that was “open” for swimming was filthy dirty with dark water)
- drones only allowed at the reception/estate level (who cares?..) but not over the waterfalls
- we paid 1000 BRL (almost EUR 160), impossible go book directly, only through local tour operators, for 2 persons for this.. not worth it

Nestled about 19 kilometers from the heart of Bonito, MS, Praia da Figueira is a delightful lakeside resort that boasts an expansive stretch of white sandy beach alongside a stunning lagoon measuring 60,000 square meters. This picturesque destination invites visitors to unwind in nature while indulging in various activities such as kayaking, pedal boating, and even zip-lining. The crystal-clear waters are perfect for swimming or simply relaxing by the shore.
I think this is a place with great potential for growth. The service is good, and it's a great place for a day of relaxation or activities, such as snorkeling, jumping, swimming, kayaking, or even water biking. The water slides and crystal clear water definitely make this place worth a visit. We came because we had booked in advance and wanted to see and go within an hour, but we ended up staying and enjoying the whole day.

Amazing praia! We went in a bad weather but it was an amazing experience! They have amazing activities for kids, the place is super big and they have food and ice cream. We went during the afternoon but I highly recommend it as a full day activity. The ride is a bit far from bonito but definitely worth it!
Amazing place to spend the day with family or friends. Everything is clean and the attention is very good. Great food, music and amenities.
A nice place to chill out. It has a nice space and a good structure, full of birds and activities for children. It hasn’t got loads of food but some appetizers to not die starving. You can Kayak, try a stand up paddle and use the swimming pool. If you are up to rest some day on Bonito, this is a good choice.
Very nice place to stay a day long. It has a pool with slides and the water in the lagoon is warm. You'll see fish. The food is good.
Might be a fun place to hang out in a hot sunny day, but in a colder day (in our case 24’C) there was absolitely nothing to do outside water neither for adults nor for our kids. And the bar/restaurant alone is not worthwile the time.
Figueira Beach is a beautiful lakefront resort in Bonito, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. It is a great place to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the region. The beach is made up of soft white sand, and the water is crystal clear. There are plenty of places to sunbathe, swim, and play. You can also use kayaks and paddleboards.
If you need a break from the sun, you can relax in one of the cabanas that are available for rent. There is also a bar and restaurant on site, where you can buy food and drinks.
Fantastic place to spend a day or two for everyone. Doesn't matter of you are single, couple or entire family. Fun for all ages. Great food and service as well. The lake is amazing, the ambient is beautiful as expected from this area. It's a must if you visit Bonito MS

Great place for a break , relaxing , but with lots to do too. Zip wire, tubing down the river. Kayaking , snorkeling (floating down river). Swimming. Loads of walks. Good food , great staff, great breakfast every morning. Loved the capuchin monkeys,
There are many animals in the hotel, and there is a monkey on the roof. When I open the door, it keeps peeking at me and hopes that I will give it some food.
The hotel is large in size and the distance between each villa is very spacious. The hotel's rooms are well equipped and in good condition.
The hotel’s chef is very good at cooking.
We were here to go tubing (buoy across) which was great. Didn't stay at the hotel but looked very nice and staff wad very friendly and helpful

Fazenda São Geraldo - Flutuação Rio Sucuri offers a charming experience at a private farm where the Sucuri River begins and flows into the Formoso River. The floating excursion is incredible, guided by specialized guides to ensure safety for all ages. Visitors can also enjoy a restaurant with excellent food, a great swimming pool, leisure area, and hammocks. The tour provides a fantastic opportunity to let the river carry you while admiring the sensational nature from the bottom of the river.

Beautiful nature

(Translated by Google) Beautiful. The farm is big and we went at a time when the Pantanal was on fire so the smoke ended up dominating the entire Bonito region. But the tour itself is great. Quiet floating where you don't have to swim, just enjoying the current taking you to the end of the route. Well-placed equipment that also leaves you at peace of mind. Great guide, patient, explaining and accompanying the group.
(Original)
Lindo. A fazenda é grande e fomos em uma época que o Pantanal estava em brasas então a fumaça acaba dominando a região toda de Bonito. Mas o passeio em si é ótimo. Flutuação tranquila onde não tem que ficar nadando mesmo, só curtindo a correnteza levar você até o final do percurso. Equipamentos bem colocados que deixa tranquilo também. Guia ótimo, paciente, explicando e acompanhando o grupo.
(Translated by Google) It's simply fantastic to float on the Sucuri River, one of the clearest rivers in the world, the clearest river in Brazil. This is a float with a very rich flora, much more interesting than the Rio da Prata, only surpassed by the Prata in the amount of fish.
This float is the most recommended to do in Bonito MS, because it is for everyone, the river has a current that helps a lot in the float.
It's simply fantastic! I loved it.
In 2026, Lagos Ecotur will be promoting a trip from Rio de Janeiro to Bonito. Come live this experience!
(Original)
Simplesmente fantástico flutuar no Rio Sucuri, um dos mais claros do mundo, o Rio mais claro do Brasil. Essa é uma flutuação com uma flora riquíssima, bem mais interessante que a do Rio da Prata, só perde para o Prata na quantidade de peixes.
Essa Flutuação é a mais indicada para fazer em Bonito MS, porque ela é para todo mundo, o Rio tem uma correnteza que ajuda muito na Flutuação.
É simplesmente fantástico! Amei.
Em 2026, a Lagos Ecotur estará promovendo uma viagem do Rio de Janeiro a Bonito. Vem viver essa experiência!
(Translated by Google) The farm has a lot of facilities and a really cool atmosphere. However, the food is expensive and not very good, compared to the food we ate on other trips, like Estância Mimosa, which was the best food in Bonito.
(Original)
A Fazenda tem muita estrutura, ambiente bem bacana. No entanto a comida é cara e não muito boa, comparada às comidas que comemos nos outros passeios, tipo Estância Mimosa, foi a melhor comida de Bonito.
(Translated by Google) Fantastic. Wonderful place, about a 50-minute float trip. The guide, Cornélia, was exceptional and very knowledgeable about the area. She provided valuable tips. One area for improvement is that they could have brought a towel for the boatman, as the ride back in the truck is very cold in winter.
(Original)
Fantástico. Lugar maravilhoso, em torno de 50 minutos de flutuação. A guia Cornélia foi excepcional, conhece muito da região. Dicas valiosas . Como ponto de melhoria, podiam deixar levar uma toalha para o barqueiro levar, pois, para voltar no caminhão é muito gelado no inverno.
(Translated by Google) Nice experience, lots of fish, very touristy. I wasn't allowed to take my waterproof phone with me, which was a bit annoying.

Nettes Erlebnis, viele Fische, sehr touristisch. Durfte mein wasserdichtes Telefon nicht mitnehmen, was mich etwas geärgert hat.

The resort boasts pristine sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, and lush greenery, providing the perfect backdrop for a tranquil getaway. Guests can indulge in various water sports activities or simply unwind on the sun-kissed shores. The resort also features well-maintained amenities including comfortable accommodations, delectable dining options, and attentive service.
(Translated by Google) It was the best resort I had the pleasure of visiting in Bonito. The staff are great. There is a zip line, a natural pool for children, a waterfall, a structure of kiosks, lounge chairs, barbecues, a very well-kept, clean bathroom. The food is reasonably priced. And the service is good. There are no gimmicks like there were in other resorts. I loved it and I highly recommend it. And there are no different prices for high or low season. I found that really interesting. Congratulations. I hope they don't change anything. Just be careful with the monkeys, they are mean. They really steal. But it ends up becoming a fun attraction.

Foi o melhor Balneário que tive o prazer de conhecer em Bonito , os funcionários são ótimos, tem tirolesa , piscina natural pras crianças, cachoeira ,estrutura de quiosques, espreguiçadeiras , churrasqueiras, muito bem cuidado banheiro limpo o valor da comida justa. E serve bem . Não tem pegadinha de venda casada como teve em outros Balneários .. eu ameiiii indico demais.. e não tem valor diferenciado pra alta ou baixa temporada, achei super interessante isso .. estão de parabéns espero que não mudem em nada .. Só tomem cuidado com os macacos eles são danados .. eles rouba mesmo.. mas acaba virando uma atração engraçada

(Translated by Google) When you read the description of the place in the various posts on the Internet, you get the impression that it is a paradise with many activities to do. The place is actually pretty, with some waterfalls and the water of the Formos River flowing through several places. But that is practically all. There is even a zip line, which only goes a few meters. The trampoline is also an attraction that is not very attractive. If you are going with your family to spend the day and have a picnic or a barbecue, it might be worth it, but I still have my doubts since you have to pay 100.00 per person just to get in, which would make this barbecue quite expensive.
(Original)
Quando se lê a descrição do lugar nos diversos posts da Internet fica a impressão de se um paraíso com muitas atividades para fazer.
O lugar é até bonito, com umas quedas d'água e a água do rio formoso passando por diversos lugares.
Mas é praticamente só isso.
Tem até uma tirolesa, que percorre apenas uns poucos metros.
O trampolim é igualmente uma atração pouco atrativa.
Se você for com a família passar o dia e fazer um piquenique ou um churrasco talvez valha a pena, mas ainda assim tenho minhas dúvidas já que é preciso pagar 100,00 por pessoa só para entrar, o que tornaria esse churrasco bem caro.
(Translated by Google) We had a wonderful day; the restaurant has very good food. The downside, we found it absurd, was that there was no restroom at the entrance and no benches to wait for transportation at the end of the tour. If you're bringing an elderly person or someone with walking difficulties, for example, wear a diaper, as the restroom is very far away. Accessibility is non-existent here. Bring a hat/cap, a bottle of water, sunscreen, and insect repellent.
(Original)
Passamos um dia maravilhoso, o restaurante do local, tem uma comida muito boa. A parte ruim, achamos sem noção, o local não ter banheiro para o público na entrada, e não ter bancos para esperarmos o transporte no final do passeio. Se você levar por exemplo uma pessoa idosa ou com com dificuldade para andar, coloque uma fralda, pois banheiro é muito longe. Acessibilidade nesse local não existe. Levem chapéu/ boné, garrafa de água, protetor solar e repelente...

Barra do Sucuri is a popular destination in Bonito, MS, known for its famous floating experience. Visitors start with a 200-meter walk to the Formoso River before embarking on a boat ride of over a kilometer along the Sucuri River. The unique feature of this tour is the opportunity to witness the river's source during the float.
(Translated by Google) The structure of the place is really cool, the staff is very polite and the organization is very well done.
The waters are really crystal clear and we felt like we were in a real aquarium.
Unfortunately, when we went it was the spawning season and we saw few fish, but that didn't ruin the experience.
(Original)
A estrutura do lugar é bem bacana, os funcionários muito educados e a organização muito bem feita.
As águas são realmente cristalinas e nos sentimos como se estivéssemos em um aquário de verdade.
Infelizmente na época que fomos era piracema e vimos poucos peixes, mas isso não invalidou a experiência.
Lilian D — Google review
Beautiful place, nice trip, just the staff from there must be better prepared to explain all the trip
(Translated by Google) What can we say about the exuberant beauty of this place? The tour at Barra do Sucuri is recommended for nature lovers who want to enjoy almost untouched fauna and flora. The crystal clear water of the Sucuri River and the vegetation are ready invitations to delight the eyes and soul. With every blink of an eye, we are enchanted by the spectacular scenery of Barra do Sucuri. We were very well received and received instructions before and after the floatation… We took a short walk to the riverbank, where we saw birds such as the magnificent Udu and many other local animals, such as a baby Anaconda, an otter, alligators and beautiful piraputangas. Swimming alongside the fish and observing the bottom of the river is something inexplicable and can only be fully experienced by coming into direct contact. Barra do Sucuri in Bonito awaits you and just thank me later and enjoy the best of the Pantanal in Mato Grosso do Sul, with the help of the best guides... Rony was ours and he is sensational, he kept me calm and safe during the entire tour, which usually lasts about two hours in total.
(Original)
O que dizer da beleza exuberante desse lugar? O passeio na Barra do sucuri é um atrativo recomendável a pessoas que são amantes da natureza e que desejam desfrutar de fauna e flora quase intocada. A água cristalina do Rio Sucuri e a vegetação são convites prontos ao encantamento dos olhos e da alma. A cada piscar de olhos, nos encantamos com o cenário espetacular da Barra do Sucuri. Fomos muito bem recepcionados e recebemos as instruções pré flutuação e após…Fizemos uma pequena caminhada até as margens do rio,onde avistamos as aves como o magnífico Udu e tantos outros animais de ocorrência local, como um filhote de Sucuri, lontrinha, jacarés e além das belas piraputangas. Nadar ao lado dos peixes e observar o fundo do rio é algo inexplicável e só podemos sentir na sua totalidade, entrando em contato direto. A Barra do Sucuri em Bonito te espera e só me agradeça depois e aprecie o que há de melhor do Pantanal sul mato grossense, com o auxílio dos melhores guias… ao Rony foi o nosso e é sensacional, me manteve calma e segura durante o passeio todo,que geralmente dura cerca de duas horas ao todo.

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.
Beautiful square in the heart of Bonito, lots of benches to sit, and food vendors. Many locals come for a cool evening and enjoy the company.
In the evening it gets very active and beautiful, there are cool stalls, benches and hammocks and sometimes live performances. The place is only active from 8 pm (the lights come on) and the activity ends around 11-12 at night.
Nice location. Similar to an Eat Street layout. Many meal options with live bands and positive atmosphere.
Must visit in Bonito. Had a great atmosphere at night with some children playing ball in the park and many food options!
Beautiful place to be, specially at sunrise and sunset which is when all the birds fly in and out the trees.

Parque das Cachoeiras-Bonito-ms is a fantastic tourist destination where visitors can embark on a guided tour that spans approximately one and a half hours. The tour offers the opportunity to explore seven breathtaking waterfalls, each providing awe-inspiring views and memorable experiences. It is advisable to bring rubber-soled reef shoes for walking on the rocky terrain in the water. Additionally, it's important to note that the tour is conducted solely in Portuguese.
It was kind of dry when I went there, but I had fun.. our Guide, Djuliane was super helpful, she was very knowledgeable and made the experience even better. Highly recommended if you go in April.

The water was freezing, and the Balneario wasn’t worth the money. It was dirty and full of sharp rocks; you can go for the waterfalls, but it's not a big deal; the receptionist was rude, too. I don’t recommend this place.
Beautiful hike and a chance to dip into a several different waterfalls in one go and a nice place to have lunch afterwards - uncommonly many healthy options🥗
Tour was also available in spanish too!
highly recommend. we had Carolina as our guide. she was awesome. very beautiful tour.
Excelente trip! It takes about an hour and a half. You can meet 7 waterfalls. There is a parking lot.
One of the most beautiful places I have ever seen, lindo, Bonito. Words cannot express how beautiful this experience is, paradise it is just amazing, you are able to swim and relax at each water fall and swim with ipiraputanga indigenous fish of the area. God made a beautiful earth for us to enjoy and care for. Loved this beautiful amazing place a must for those who visit Brazil. BONITO 🙏🏼🙏🏼👍👍👍👍👍💦

Beautiful place with so much potential….the owner is really missing the trick here or just got too much money that don’t need to bother in make that spot a really special one!
Bad service (slow).
Again, it can be great with a little bit of investment in infrastructure and more staff.
I’d go back there many times if they put some effort in what I just said about the place.
Great place to stay all day long. There are many animals to take pictures. It's a familiar place. There is a parking lot and the price is very fair
One of the best experiences I had
An adventure to get to. Clean, good facilities. Waiter service to the tables. Easy access to the river. Kids playground and lots of sheltered areas from the sun.
Good.

Tucked away in a residential area, Bonito's Aquarium is a hidden gem that offers an engaging experience focused on environmental education. This indoor aquarium showcases a variety of local species, including the fascinating piranha. Visitors can enjoy guided tours led by enthusiastic staff who share intriguing facts about the freshwater fish native to Brazil’s rivers. One of the highlights includes feeding fish with food on a stick and even getting up close with freshwater stingrays!
A great collection of the fish native to the local area. Was really informative to visit after snorkeling in the local rivers and learn more about them. The visit included a guided tour (English as well as Portuguese) feeding the fish and touching a freshwater stingray.
Danny H — Google review
When we arrived at this tiny aquarium, our expectations were fairly low. Yet we left an hour later with a huge smile on our face and new knowledge about Brazil’s fresh water species. This aquarium is an entirely guided tour where staff take the time to explain the particularities of the various fish species, and their enthusiasm is contagious. Really recommend visiting the aquarium during your stay in bonito! (Please check if they offer tours in English, as our guide spoke only Portuguese)
This place was surprisingly fun and entertaining. The guided tour was very informative. It was great to get to know a lot more about the variety of freshwater fish found in the area.
Best small aquarium ever.
Awesome place for a small community! Wonderful knowledgable English speaking guide. Recommended!
