Hotel Pousada Bonsai Bonito

... to the reserve on the turnoff with the main road we see 4 'Toucan' (I think thats how you call them in English if not please comment), wqhich was quite exciting. These birds are really somehting, their beak is longer than their body, you can't miss them - probably one of the easiest birds to recognise. Anyway get to the place and after walking mearly 1min we came head to head with at least 20-30 of the red ...

... spending at a minimal here) we decided to move out and go check out some of this 'Pantanal'. Got some mototaxis to the 'municipal beach' 8km out of town. On the way we nearly ran over a turtle - he managed to cross most of the road but still ahd a couple of meters left, so we ...

... too. I wasnt sure weather it was just a tale for the tourists but we went looking for it anyway. We didnt find it. It started to pour down for about 6.5 km out of the 7km back to town and then cleared up just as we entered the town. We were drenched and our backs covered in mud and looked pretty silly, but we really enjoyed it!<br>

... optional tours.<br>Scuba Diving &#8211; You can go diving in a deeper part of river, even without previous diving training. Very different from the tour, you can combine both in one day. <br><br>Abismo Anhumas<br><br>In my opinion the most impressive place in the region. It is a cave with a transparent water lake in the bottom, and the only way in is rappelling 72 meters down (and then up). You can either snorkel or dive. A rappelling training on ...

Again the travel agency screws me over a bit by making me use the slow public transportation that this time was late by over an hour -- and not in my favor. However, I'm due to arrive in Bonito after nightfall anyway so it just means that I get through some more of the adventure novel I'd brought along -- fittingly set in the Peruvian and Brazilian Amazon.<br><br>My accommodation is back to hostels -- the only one actually in Bonito ...

... and the fish were just beautiful and you could just see everything. We started in the Rio do Olhos do Agua &#8211; which means the river of eyes of water, as there are so many fresh water springs in this part of the river. First of all we just headed in a circuit round the kind of source-pool of the river and then we headed down stream. It was beautiful the whole way &#8211; if you took your head out you were ...

Hi everyone,<br><br>First off I just want to say thanks for all the comments it's really great to write when you know someone is interested! We&#8217;ve been camping for the last week now and have got another week still before we get to a hostel where I should be able to properly read emails and upload some photos and video&#8217;s if you&#8217;re really lucky so sit tight for those.<br><br>You&#8217;ll be pleased to know following my ...

... that I am the one discovering it, and my game works perfectly. The owners haven't cut down a single tree while developing the property and the whole thing has a very secret garden feel. The hike continues through 8 different waterfalls, one has a 6-meter-high diving board that makes me feel like Pocahontas, one has a small, hidden cave that makes me feel like a waterfall, all are beautiful. But I have to say that the best part was yet to come. Upon returning to the ...

AFTER the Pantanal we headed to the beautiful small town of Bonito, a charming pearl of Brazil. we chilled out and walked the streets saying Bom dia to the happy people, and browsed the pretty handicraft shops and handmade clothes. The next day we had the privillege of a full day of snorkelling in the stunning river the Rio del Prata (following from a stressful morning with paypal, visa and skype! don't lose your bankcard abroad!). After a hours wal deep into the forest we arrived at ...

... nature reserve in the world - that was lined with slices of tree trunks! <br><br> <br><br>This took us to the edge of the narrow river, via a few incredibly clear pools and streams.<br> <br> <br><br>One of the little pools was so clear it looked like the ...
