The experience

The tour picks you up from your hotel in central Bonito and drives to the Bodoquena region, where the adventure starts at the Boca da Onça farmhouse. A specialized guide leads the 4 km ecological walk deeper into the Pantanal, moving between 11 waterfalls. Each one has a running-water pool where you can swim and cool off. The water is clear enough to see through. The main waterfall, Boca da Onça itself, drops 156 meters, the highest in the state, and the trek builds toward it as the final landmark of the walk.

After the trek, you return to the ranch to rest. Breakfast and lunch are included, and you have access to the bar, restaurant, dressing rooms, bathrooms, a pool and hammocks while you recover.

Is this one for you?The 8-hour commitment means you'll spend most of the day on the trail and at the ranch, so plan for little else that day, but it also gives you time to move slowly between all 11 waterfalls and rest properly afterward instead of rushing back to town.
