Bonito is simply the best destination for river diving in Brazil and has already won the Best Ecotourism Destination award 16 times, in the Best Travel and Tourism Award. The place is an example of management, sustainability and hospitality. In the crystalline source of the Baía Bonita River, which forms the Natural Aquarium, or in the Sucuri River, with a light current, you swim side by side with diverse species of colorful fish.
The geological formation of this region is so rich in calcium and magnesium bicarbonate that it has given rise to large extensions of underground cavities.
This makes the soil act as a "filter", absorbing a lot of water, which resurfaces completely transparent and rich in this mineral, providing a beautiful shade of blue. And, it is precisely the crystallinity and transparency of the rivers that attract tourists from all over the world.
Among the most famous rivers are: Rio Sucuri, Rio da Prata, Rio Formoso, Rio Mimoso and Rio Baia Bonita.
The hotel chain is very varied and has more than 50 accommodation options, including hotels and inns, which offer from simple accommodation, with economic rates, to rural inns and charming hotels. You can even find a complete eco resort in Bonito.
With the growth in demand for ecotourism, especially in this post-pandemic period, one of the most prosperous segments is gastronomy, so don't be surprised by the quality of restaurants in Bonito MS, there is a lot to experience here!
I especially recommend local cuisine based on traditional meats and fish from Mato Grosso do Sul. When you find combinations that include sauces of exotic fruits from the cerrado such as Guavira, it's worth trying!
Safety (which is something that most people worry about on any trip) is a plus point about Bonito Mato Grosso do Sul. It is considered a safe city.
The truth is that even being a destination traditionally known for diving activities and transparent waters, Bonito has been increasingly sought after as a destination for winter holidays.
This is because during this season, from June to August, despite the low temperatures, the climate of the region is dry, so it is possible to enjoy much more than if you were at the beach, for example.
Other than that, it's precisely during the dry season that the waters are much more transparent and it's worth renting a long-sleeved blouse to put under neoprene clothes to escape the cold!
It is also in winter that the biggest periods of low season and special promotions are concentrated - so it is a time that deserves special attention!
We also recommend visiting Bonito from September to November. At this time, a few rains usually recover the volume of the waterfalls well, without, however, disturbing the beauty of the fluctuations.
The fact is that the place is really impressive for its natural beauty, for the number of caves it has, waterfalls that multiply, for the number of colorful fish swimming along with visitors or for the countless springs of transparent water sprouting from the earth, all this gathered in one place, it would be worth it.
Bonito still has the advantage of geographical position, as it is right in the middle of Brazil, close to everything, in the Midwest region, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul.
It's easy to get to, the waters are really clean, it's a modern destination that invests in sustainable practices and environmental conservation for the next generations and uses photovoltaic energy in most accommodation facilities.
There are a number of reasons that we can list for you to include this city in your priority list as one of the best places to travel in Brazil. Have Fun!
