Confira abaixo as principais atrações em Bonito MS!

1. Abyss Anhumas

anhumas abyss

Essa não é uma atração para qualquer bolso.

The Anhumas Abyss (Abismo Anhumas) is an adventure into a cave, 23 km from the center of Bonito/MS. It was discovered by a farmhand in the 1970s and has been open for tourism since 1999.

De início, o visitante precisa ir até o Centro de Treinamento do Abismo Anhumas no dia anterior para assinar os termos de compromisso e provar a roupa de Neoprene e o equipamento da atividade (caso tenha optado pela flutuação).

After this process, it's time to embark on the adventure that could be the most exciting of your life: descending 72m in height, contemplating one of the most beautiful limestone formations ever seen and a crystal clear lake!

Before the technique used for the descent and ascent in the Anhumas Abyss (Abismo Anhumas) was rappelling, which required a little physical effort.

Now the descents and ascents are made through an electric lifting system and require zero physical effort because they are small vertical technical chairs? similar to rappelling. Thus, the course time has been reduced.

When you start the tour, there is a narrow crevice that, in the course of the descent, gradually opens up. From then on you already have a breathtaking view of the limestone abysses and the crystal clear water.

An unforgettable experience
Anhumas Abyss (Abismo Anhumas)

Ideal pass for all adventurers, and you don't need to know anything about rappelling for it, as you will be taught on the spot. And even if you have no practice at all, you can just be hoisted up and down the cave with the help of equipment. It's worth a try!

2. Natural Aquarium Bonito

If you love floating, take these two tips here: don't use repellent or sunscreen while floating.

In addition, if your itinerary is short, try combining the tours at the Natural Aquarium with Eco Park, which you will see later in this article.

One of the most popular floats
Floating in the Natural Aquarium

16. Eco Park Porto da Ilha

eco park porto da ilha

An ecological park that kids will love! If you don't know what you can do in Bonito/MS with a child, take the little ones to Eco Park.

We have already mentioned here that Eco Park is one of the Bonito spots to offer Boia Cross, but also dinghy rides, kayaking, and stand-up paddle.

A propósito, as águas esverdeadas permitem um momento tranquilo de stand up, além de alguns saltos na água através de passarelas suspensas.

Besides this, the area is very wooded and you feel like spending the whole day bathing in the waterfalls. It is an experience that no one can fault.

Mesmo com instrutor, se você nunca usou caiaque nem bote, não monte seu roteiro baseado apenas nessas atrações. Isso porque quem não está acostumado, terá dificuldade para controlar os dois ?veículos? e ainda sairá frustrado do local.

So set aside more travel days to learn and stay in control of the situation.

fluctuation recanto ecológico rio da prata

The Silver River é muito conhecido por ser um recanto ecológico, onde você também pode praticar a modalidade de flutuação, mergulho com cilindro, cavalgada e observação de aves.

Upon arrival at the reception, you receive all the necessary equipment to begin practicing the flotation on site, monitored by a guide.

To get to the Rio da Prata, you start a trail that takes about half an hour to reach the deck, where the flotation begins.

The source of the Olho d'Água River impresses with the quantity of fish and the crystalline waters are not far behind. The transparency is thanks to the limestone, very abundant in the region.

Essa não é uma das atividades em Bonito mais baratas (cerca de R$330 para adultos praticarem a flutuação na baixa temporada e R$440 na alta temporada), mas ainda é mais em conta que o Abismo Anhumas.

But be warned: book your trip to Bonito in advance if you want to visit Recanto Ecológico Rio da Prata, because it is very busy.

Also, book for the same day other nearby activities, such as the Buraco das Araras and the Mysterious Lagoon.

Uma das atrações mais bonitas e famosas da região
Floating in the Rio da Prata

The Rio da Prata Flotation is one of the best attractions in the country. It received 5 stars in 2008 and 2009, a rare award that only few attractions have ever won. In addition, the program received the Traveller's Choice 2021 award, making this a ride you can't afford to miss!

For those who are just starting out, it is very nice, since even children as young as 4 years old can practice this activity.

Ao final, o visitante volta para o receptivo e tem a opção de almoçar na fazenda.

21. Blue Lake Grotto

O maior cartão-postal e uma das principais atrações de Bonito não pode deixar de fazer parte do seu roteiro de viagem.

The Blue Lake Grotto (Gruta do Lago Azul) is one of the most famous Bonito/MS rides in the region and one of the city's main tourist attractions.

Apesar de ser apenas uma atividade contemplativa, os visitantes adentram a Gruta do Lago Azul de 300 metros de distância, por meio de uma escadaria íngreme com mais de 250 degraus.

Besides the admirable rock formations, the highlight of this attraction is admiring the blue waters, whose effect is given by the sunlight falling on the limestone at the bottom of the blue lake.

This is why they always mention the Blue Lake Grotto when someone looks for what to do in Bonito.

The scenery at the bottom of the cave, discovered in 1924 and protected by IPHAN (Institute for National Historic and Artistic Heritage), is too surreal until it became one of the first tourist attractions in the 1970s.

The Blue Lake is much more beautiful under the incidence of sunlight, however, it is precisely in the summer when it rains the most. The result? Besides the slippery stairs, there is the phenomenon called Piracema, which causes fish to move to the springs to spawn.

Vamos combinar que não tem graça alguma mergulhar nas águas sem ter os peixinhos para acompanhar, não é? Por isso, prefira visitar Bonito na baixa temporada se quiser curtir essa atração.

Magnificent Underground River
Blue Lake Grotto (Gruta do Lago Azul)

Be surprised by a 200-meter descent, with more than 300 steps, containing a beautiful lake with a blue tone that varies according to the incidence of sunlight inside the cave. The beauty of the lake and the cave are worth visiting and contemplating

22. Mimoso Cave

mimoso cave

Different from the Cave of Lago Azul Mimoso Grotto (Gruta do Mimoso) allows not only to contemplate but also to dive in its waters with 70 meters of depth at some points.

As with other float trips, everyone must wear a special swimsuit (neoprene, vest, wetsuit, and snorkel gear) and wear a helmet when entering the cave.

Once inside, it is impossible not to admire the beauty of the salon, even more so when a flashlight is used to illuminate strategic points in the water.

A curiosity is that this trip to the Mimoso Cave It was closed for 15 years until it reopened. It might be a good idea to add it to your list of what to do in Bonito/MS before it is closed again.

23. Gruta da Catedral (antiga Gruta São Mateus)

são mateus grotto

Who says it is impossible to visit Bonito during the rainy season? Algumas atrações podem até ser cancelados devido a temporais, mas uma chuva leve não vai impedir sua aventura por uma caverna impressionante.

The Gruta da Catedral (antiga Gruta São Mateus) is part of the Bonito Cave Complex and occupies about 50 hectares of the site. To get there, you must walk along a 5-meter-high hanging trail, reach the woods, and continue the 320-meter trail to the cave entrance.

The starting point is the Kadiwéu Cultural Museum, which, although it is far from the cave, is often said that there is a museum in the cave since tourists begin their journey there.

One of the visitors' favorite activities is to take pictures of the animals found along the way and inside the cave.

There are also the famous geological formations, such as stalagmites and coralloids, of different colors and shapes, that line the cave perfectly.

Quem já viu a beleza arquitetônica das catedrais medievais góticas, reconhece o estilo moldado pela natureza – essa é uma boa opção do que fazer em Bonito.

One of the most visited points
Gruta da Catedral (antiga Gruta São Mateus)

24. Sao Miguel Caves

SAO MIGUEL Grotto

Another amazing cave to visit in Bonito even with rain is the St. Michael's Grotto (Gruta de São Miguel).

O motivo para você adicioná-la em seu rol de atrações na cidade é quase o mesmo que São Mateus: ela faz parte do Complexo de Grutas e possui belas construções geológicas.

The whole view from Sao Miguel Grotto is so fascinating that you feel like you are on a movie set!
