Bonito: Brazil's Hidden Natural Wonder

Tucked away in Brazil's interior, Bonito is a small rural town where every attraction lies within working farms - there's not even a shopping mall in sight. Venture just 10km outside town and you'll lose cell service until reaching the farms' WiFi zones. 🍃Must-Do Experiences: 🩷Snorkeling Adventures 🌸Rio da Prata & Rio Sucuri: Crystal-clear waters with surreal visibility Sucuri's dense aquatic plants create an eerie "ghost-touching-your-legs" sensation ❗Warning: Two consecutive days of snorkeling (especially the self-propelled Prata route) might leave you exhausted - I nearly wanted to sink by the end! Watch for mischievous monkeys along the riverbanks 🩷Blue Lake Cave (Gruta Lagoa Azul) Breathtaking but singular in appeal - what you see is what you get (like photo #6) ✨Pro tip: One cave visit suffices as others are similar 🩷Farm Horseback Riding The real deal - unguided mountain trails Equal parts thrilling and slightly terrifying for first-timers 🩷Macaw Sinkhole (Buraco das Araras) One of South America's largest sinkholes Home to vibrant macaw colonies 🩷Whitewater Rafting 🥰"Since-we're-here" activity🥰Dry season (like August) brings dangerously shallow waters - our group had multiple dunkings Travel Tips: ✔️ 3-4 days is ideal✔️Skip unnecessary add-ons like go-karts✔️ Sun protection is mandatory #buraco das araras#Rio da Prata#Bonito#travel guide#Brazil#trip diary
