Ecological Park River Formoso — Attraction in Região Geográfica Imediata de Jardim

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...

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...

Fun activity on the River Formoso, rafting down the rapids. After getting outfitted with a helmet, watershoes and a vest at the reception area, a 10 minute hike takes one down to the start of the ride. There are a bunch of small 1-person rafts which one uses to go down the river that has a couple of small rapids, enough to get some adrenaline flowing. Fun ride, would do it again. Works for smaller kids too.

Close to Bonito, only 15 minutes by car. Reception area has other offers such as horse riding, bike rides, swimming in...
