Natural Aquarium

A tour on the Baía Bonita River, located 7 km from Bonito, Mato Grosso do Sul. The activity begins with a briefing from the guide and training in the pool to familiarize participants with the equipment. Next, the group follows a 700-meter trail through the forest to the headwaters of the Baía Bonita River. Along the way, you can observe trees typical of the Cerrado, various birds, and other wildlife.

There is a moment to admire the source of the Baía Bonita River, and shortly afterward, the float begins—an 800-meter journey amid abundant underwater flora and various species of fish. The float ends where the Baía Bonita River meets the Formoso River, where the group can enjoy a zip line and a deck for swimming in the Formoso River. 

Once the activity is over, the return trip follows a 1,000-meter trail, offering another opportunity for close contact with nature, and—with a little luck—a chance to see the animals in their enclosures along the wildlife trail on the way back to the main camp.💧🐟
