About Bonito
Bonito is Brazil's ecotourism capital — a small town in Mato Grosso do Sul with the clearest rivers in the country. The crystal-clear waters of the spring rivers allow for snorkeling in natural aquariums, where you float through nature among hundreds of colorful fish. Bonito is also a model for sustainable tourism: visitor numbers are strictly limited and nature comes first.
