About this experience
The tour starts with a pickup service from the hotels in the center of Bonito, to go to the Bodoquena region, where our adventure begins.
At the Boca da Onca farmhouse, we will be greeted by specialized guides, highly trained and experienced, that will accompany us on our 4 km long ecological walk. The trails are well equipped and take us deeper and deeper into the Pantanal to explore the wonderful running-water pools, where we can enjoy a refreshing bath in its crystal clear waters. Then, we continue our trek to pass through 11 waterfalls, each more spectacular than the one before. One of those waterfalls is Boca da Onca, the highest in the state with its 156m high.
Then, we get back to the ranch, so that you can recharge your energies, and relax with the sound of the running water. Also, you can feel free to use the facilities of the ranch: a bar and restaurant, dressing rooms, bathrooms, a pool, and a hammock.
