• day 1

  Paris - Campo Grande - Bonito

  Travel to Campo Grande with a regular airline in economy class. Upon arrival at the airport, pick up your rental vehicle and drive to Bonito (bilingual guide for assistance at the rental agency). The village of Bonito is now renowned as the Brazilian capital of eco-tourism. In the surrounding area, the limestone plateaus and valleys as well as the typical savannah vegetation create many opportunities for trekking, kayaking, diving, or even scuba diving. Rainwater is filtered by the limestone rocks and returns to the valleys in the form of springs, thus giving rise to creeks and rivers of sublime transparency that favor encounters with many varieties of multicolored fish. Meals at your leisure. Overnight at the Moinho de Vento hotel.

• day 2

  Bonito : Campo Grande

  Snorkeling in the Sucuri River (does not include transport or guide) The excursion on the Sucuri River begins with a trail through the riverside forest, where you can see different animals and plants. Along the way, there is a lookout built around a hundred-year-old tree, from where you can observe the fish and aquatic vegetation. At the end of the trail, visitors will receive the appropriate equipment for the visit: 50 minutes of snorkeling, with incredible visibility due to the composition of the river's limestone rocks. The scenery is so blue that you feel like you are floating in an aquarium. Visit to the Guta Azul (does not include transport or guide) Discovered in 1924 and recognized as a natural monument, the Blue Lagoon cave has a lake whose dimensions make it one of the largest flooded cavities in the world. To reach the crystal-clear waters, it is necessary to walk a short trail of about 100 meters in the cave, where you can see different stalagmites and stalactites, geological formations that attract tourists and researchers.
