About this experience

Once at destiny, and accompanied by a professional guide who shares all his knowledge with us, we will reach the huge crater, which has a profundity of 120m and 500m in diameter, and oozes natural beauty.

We can admire the variety of birds, about 120 species, of which stands out the Araras Vermelhas best known as Macaws, typical of Brazil. Inside the valley, given its isolation, an entirely new ecosystem has been created, with particular wildlife. The presence of a large lake inhabited by alligators will catch your eye, as is still a mystery how they survive in that environment.

The walk consists of a pleasant 900m hike through a path in the vegetation, towards different panoramic viewpoints that will allow us to see the crater in all its immensity. Estimated duration: 90 minutes

The tour ends with the returning to Bonito and the drop-off of each passenger at their hotel
