Pousada Sonho Meu Bonito

... on the way and teaching our guide the new word we finally arrived and as we jumped in we our snorkelling gear we were awed. <br><br><br><br> <br><br><br>The water was totally crystal clear and we were surrounded by various sized fish. Been snorkelling in the sea and ocean but never in a river and I have to say it wasn't bad. We checked out the underwater sources and on our way down must have seen a dozen ...

... us up. Go back to the hotel made freinds with some french people, shared a pasta diner, organised the next day - going to snorkel in the Rio Plater (Silver river or Money river) and go to some type of hole where loads of parrots nest. More news tomorrow - and pictures.<br><br><br> <br>

... br>CVC (www.cvc.com.br) <br><br>It is the largest travel agency in Brazil, offering packages to all destinations in Brazil. It is usually cheaper and service might not be so good. You can choose the hotel among some options they offer. The packages they currently offer include the flight from São Paulo (SP) to Campo Grande (CG) and the bus from Campo Grande to Bonito. However the package includes only a few tours (not the best ones) in the price ...

... otherwise great shots I have my binoculars to at least observe up-close these magnificent birds. As we stand around and observe the occasional flybys from the second observation point on the opposite side, a large number of Macaws fly and perch on trees within a few meters of the first observation point now with another tourist group. Jealous and not wanting a golden opportunity to be missed I ask our assigned guide to go back ...

... some hammocks before heading back to the hostel for another evening of chatting. <br> <br> On Monday we visited La Gruta do Lago Azul &#8211; the cave with the blue lake &#8211; which began with another short work in the forest before clambering down into the cave. From the top, the lake beneath looked to be black but as we got deeper and deeper the light started to make the lake glow a brilliant blue. There were ...

... headed off back to the tent I heard screeching and screaming coming from behind me and an enormous Macaw had landed on top of our washing!! So much for waiting around in the bushes, this parrot was a complete attention seeker! I don&#8217;t know if I was more thrilled to have seen it or more horrified that the whole campsite was now taking photos of my underpants drying!!<br><br>Luckily we were treated to an even more extravagant ...

... so as not to find yourself coerced/overwhelmed upon arrival (see my list of recommendations at the end). That being said, you'll have a hard time going wrong in Bonito. Never before have so many caves, fish, waterfalls and ice-cream flavors been condensed in such a small geographic nub. On my first day in Bonito I visited the Estância Mimosa, excited to see Bonito's waterfalls that I had heard so much about. But it ended up being much more than just waterfalls, for the 5 ...

God wat waren wij sjaggerijnig zeg. Zo´n Pantanal drama hakt er wel flink in. Zullen we gewoon naar huis gaan? Lekker bij vrienden en familie, een schone wc, een goed bed, niet elke dag je tas inpakken, drinkbaar water uit de kraan, van niemand afhankelijk, lekker eten, oh ja! kaassoufles en patat met appelmoes, een bank om op te hangen, lekker dvd-tje kijken... In plaats daarvan besloten we de Rio do Plata trip te boeken, de topactractie in ...

... pretty cool in the brochure.<br><br>The bus was late, which enabled us to get some clothes washing done before it eventually showed up about half past eight. <br><br>We jumped in and headed out of town down a dirt track, before arriving at our destination about ...
