“It’s not
easy to get out from under the shadow of a place like Brazil’s Pantanal—a natural
wetland bigger than England and home to a biodiversity bonanza of such rare
species as the tapir and the jaguar.

| Anhumas Abyss - Abismo Anhumas |
Yet the town
of Bonito, on the Pantanal’s border, is emerging as one of
Brazil’s favorite adventure outposts, no longer the secret of wayfarers who
stopped here for rest en route to the wetland. With its clear blue rivers
filtered by limestone, this small enclave particularly attracts outdoors
lovers.
Bonito’s
rivers, such as the Prata, stage a rare snorkeling experience—a freshwater
version of the Caribbean, where aquatic plants stand in for coral and teem with
rainbows of fish. At the Anhumas Abyss, thrill seekers drop into a tiny opening in the
forest floor and rappel 236 feet to swim in crystalline waters underground.
After
adrenaline-filled days, travelers retire to guesthouses that make up for any
lack of luxury with local comforts, such as the hammocks and breakfasts at Pousada
Galeria Artes, sourced
from a nearby ranch.
Indeed, Bonito could be a case
study in the power of travel to protect nature. Local tourism and environmental
councils work hand in hand, as they have for more than two decades, to manage
impacts on the fragile ecosystem and to support conservation efforts with
visitor revenue.”
