Ecotourism
A treasured destination on the ecotourism map, Bonito lies among the spectacular Serra da Bodoquena national park, comprising a staggering 77,000 hectares of lush forests, striking waterfalls and crystalline rivers. Created in the year 2000 with the aim to preserve natural ecosystems of great ecological prominence, the park allows for crucial scientific research, conservation of species and education about this precious environment. It also provides a truly unique tourist experience surrounded by stunning, unspoiled scenery; soak up this awe-inspiring landscape with the guarantee that your visit has minimum impact on the flora and fauna.
Crystal Clear Water
Whilst the entirety of the national park is truly breathtaking, the water features are particularly alluring, providing hours of fun against a beautiful backdrop. Glide through sun-dappled lakes into charming caves, frolic beneath magnificent waterfalls, or feel the thrill as you abseil down them. Kayak along crystal-clear rivers surrounded by lush forest, float down the gentle rapids of Rio Fomoso, or marvel at hundreds of species of striking underwater flora and fauna, as you snorkel beneath the perfect blue surface.
Flights to Bonito are available via Sao Paulo from London Heathrow. Flights to Sao Paulo take approximately 10 hours, 55 minutes, while the connecting flight to Bonito takes approximately 2 hours, 35 minutes.
