Snorkeling and Bird Watching Activities
One of the best ways to experience the natural surroundings of Bonito is by snorkelling in the clear waters of Olho d’Água, a quiet tributary of the Rio da Prata. The river is known for its clarity, which allows you to see a wide range of fish and aquatic plants as you float gently along. With its steady current and calm setting, it offers a relaxing and memorable experience for all ages. After snorkelling, enjoy a buffet lunch at a nearby farmhouse, serving simple, local dishes in a peaceful rural setting. It’s a chance to recharge before the second part of the day. In the afternoon, the tour continues to a large sinkhole, formed naturally over thousands of years. The cliffs surrounding it provide shelter to macaws and several other bird species. The best time to visit is late in the day, when the birds return to their nests. You may see dozens of them flying overhead or perched along the rocks, creating a colourful and noisy scene. Younger visitors might enjoy spotting birds that resemble characters from the film Rio, adding a fun touch to a day filled with nature and wildlife.
