In the tours it was possible to visit waterfalls, caves, water springs, to swim with fishes and to look other animals in their natural habitat, such as alligators, macaws, toucans, monkeys. The tourist guide said us that in some specific months it’s possible to find anacondas too! I didn’t see any anaconda, but a tourist couple said to me that they looked it on the river’s edge during their tour on a dinghy. It’s crazy, because I did the same tour in another moment and I and the other people with me jumped in from the dinghy and swam in the same river that they looked it!
For me, the best activities to do in Bonito are the fluctuations. I did that in Aquário Natural, Rio da Prata and Abismo Anhumas. In Aquário Natural the scenarios didn’t change a lot as you swim through the river: in most time the water is calm and crystalline and the depth isn’t high. In Rio da Prata is different: in some places there it’s possible to stand up, in others depth can reaches until 8 meters. Sometimes the water is crystalline, sometimes is turbid. The stretch available to tourists visit is longer in Rio da Prata than in Aquário Natural too.
Abismo Anhumas is a cave and to access its waters it’s necessary to descend by rappel 72 meters. This fluctuation is very different because inside its lake the predominant landscape is composed by cones created by the dripping from the cave's ceiling that carries minerals into the drops until they are deposited on the bottom of the lake. Then, as higher is a cone, more thousands of years were needed to its formation.
I had never travel alone, but in Bonito all the tours are collective and done with tourist guide, because of this it’s very secure and possible to make friends.
