We had a fantastic time discovering the Pantanal region and Bonito, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil where ecotourism and sustainability are the main focuses. Although we have spent many years traveling to, and writing about various parts of Brazil, this was our first trip to Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), and we instantly fell in love with it. Located in a region rich in history, there are prehistoric caves, waterfalls, pristine river springs, hiking trails, and an abundance of exotic animal life to discover; all of which we did!

Luxury Experience found theirs
Once part of the state of Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), is in the mid-western part of Brazil and became a separate state in 1979. In mid-March 2019, we flew from Guarulhos International Airport (GRU) in São Paulo to Campo Grande International Airport (CGR) to spend 5 whirlwind nights "discovering" the Pantanal and Bonito. Although we had a rental car and covered a lot of the area and had a fabulous time, there is still much for us to experience on future trips.
The Pantanal, the world’s largest tropical wetland, is located primarily in the mid-western state of Mato Grosso do Sul, and covers an area of approximately 54,000 – 75,000 square miles (140,000 – 195, 000 sq. km), and extends to the neighboring state of Mato Grosso, and to the countries of Bolivia and Paraguay. The area is home to 1000 bird species, 400 fish species, 300 mammalian species, 480 reptile species, and more.
Where to Stay in Pantanal
Pousada Pequi
We spent one night in the Pantanal at Pousada Pequi, a small and charming family-owned inn located in Aquidauana, known as the "southern gateway to the Pantanal tropical wetlands," and located 112 miles/180 km from Campo Grande.
Breakfast Buffet
Arriving late at night, we had a very nice dinner in the restaurant before heading off to sleep. In the morning, we were greeted by 2 talkative parrots sitting on a table outside our room. After a brief "conversation" we had a hearty and delicious breakfast in their restaurant where a selection of fresh fruit, homemade cheese, jellies, cakes, breads, yogurt, and more awaited.
Welcome to Pousada Pequi
The Pantanal is the home of exotic wildlife and an abundance of birds, and after "saying hello" to the Grande Rhea walking around the property, we went on an exciting photographic animal safari where our eyes never stopped looking and our cameras never stopped clicking away.
Is this my best side?
In addition to the Photographic Safari, Posada Pequi also offers many other adventures including Ecological Tours, Animals and Birds, Alligator Tours, Bird Watching, Carriage Rides, Milking Cows, Ecological Walks, Horseback Riding, Piranha Fishing, and River Tours.
Pousada Pequi Pool
For those that are looking for a more relaxing day, there is a swimming pool lined with inviting lounge chairs and sun umbrellas.
Their restaurant offers breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack and dinner. Breakfast is served from 7:00 am to 9:00 pm, Lunch is served from 12:00 to 1:00 pm, there is an Afternoon Snack at 3:00 pm, and Dinner is served from 8:00pm to 9:00 pm.

Experiences: Attractions and Adventures
The focus of the Pantanal and Bonito is on eco-tourism, where there is much to do and explore. We spent 5 fabulous nights in the region, 1 night in Pantanal and 4 nights in Bonito, and while we experienced much, there is so much to experience that we look forward to returning in the future to discover more.
Discovering Freshwater Fish at Aquario de Bonito
Albino Fish
If you plan on doing any snorkeling while in Bonito, it is a great idea to first visit the Aquario de Bonito to learn about the freshwater fish that you might see while snorkeling in the many rivers, which will make the adventure more interesting. The Aquarium opened in 2007 and it is the first aquarium in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul.
Cara-acu
The aquarium provides visitors to see rare and large varieties of fish with more than 3,000 fish in their large tanks which hold 200,000 liters of water. We had a great time touring the aquarium with their guide, as well as seeing and learning about the fish, having the chance to feed the "jumping" fish, and we even took time to stroke the adorable rays, which were velvety soft to the touch.
Piranha
Aquario de Bonito is open daily from 9:00 am until 10:00 pm, children under 5 years of age are admitted free, and there is a special price for groups of 15 or more.

Rappelling at Abismo Anhumas
Luxury Experience Team ready to rappel
Yahoo! We loved our thrilling half-day adventure at Abismo Anhumas, a wet cave which opened to the public in 1999, and consists of rappelling a vertical descent of 72 meters (the equivalent of a 26-story building), followed by snorkeling or scuba diving (for certified divers with licenses) to explore the formations, a boat ride to explore the cave, then rappelling back up. The cave is located 23 km (14miles) from Bonito and is "the ultimate adventure" for adventure-lovers!
Adventure Kids (Edward F. Nesta & Debra C. Argen)
ready to rappel
Important Notes: You must attend a training class the night before you rappel, so plan your trip accordingly and book well in advance as they only allow 20 visitors each day. There is a minimum age of 11 as well as a weight limit. Certain health conditions may prevent you from being able to rappel. The cave is semi-dark and there are a few narrow spaces during the descent and ascent where you touch the cave walls. Certified scuba divers with diving cards can opt to dive the site however you must book this in advance as they only allow 4 divers per day.

Trekking, Rappelling, and Waterfalls at Bocada Onça
Boca da Onça
We spent an enchanted afternoon at Bocada Onça (mouth of the jaguar) located in Bodoquena where their mission is to "preserve life and nature with responsibility." Boça da Onça, located 34 miles (55 km) from Bonito is a gorgeous eco site that boasts the highest rappel platform in Brazil with a height of 295 feet (90 meters), and their waterfall, Cachoeira Boça da Onça is the highest waterfall in the state of MS at a height of 512 feet (156 meters).
Majestic Waterfall
Although you can easily spend an entire day there, we arrived in the afternoon, had a lovely lunch, followed by hiking the trails (886 steps to reach the bottom), enjoying the spectacular beauty of the waterfall, and swimming in one of their four waterfall pools. Unfortunately, due to the heavy rain in the morning, we did not have the opportunity to rappel, however we did climb out on the platform to enjoy the amazing view. Boça da Onça also has inviting swimming pools and hammocks for visitors to enjoy a bit of leisure before or after trekking or rappelling.

Learning about Boa Constrictors at the Projeto Jibóia
Henrique Naufal
If anyone had told The Adventure Kids® aka Debra C. Argen and Edward F.Nesta that we would be intentionally going to see boa constrictors we would have laughed and said, "No, we don’t think so!" However, that is exactly what we did by going to Projeto Jibóia, founded in 2005 by Henrique Naufal, where we not only learned about boa constrictors, we posed holding them, and we actually enjoyed the experience!

Snorkeling at Barra do Sucuri
Brown Capuchin Monkey
Our last adventure before we headed to the airport in Campo Grande for our return flight to São Paulo, was snorkeling at Barra do Sucuri (Sucuri Falls) located 10.5 miles/17 km from the center of Bonito. Donning wetsuits, water shoes, masks and snorkels provided by Barra do Sucuri, we trekked a short distance in the tropical forest with our guide, where a boat awaited us to take us to Rio Sucuri where our adventure began. Its location was as much of an adventure as the actual snorkeling, as we saw Brown Capuchin Monkeys (macaco prego, Cebuscay) in the trees on our way to be fitted for our wetsuits and gear. During the boat ride we saw monkeys jumping from tree to tree along the river’s edge and saw Giant Otters (Ariranha, Pteronura brasiliensis) playing in the water. The flora as well as the fauna and exotic birds made for an interesting and enjoyable experience, as well as seeing the plethora of fish while snorkeling.
Ready to find the perfect snorkel site
Barra do Sucuri is open daily from 8:00 am until 2:30 pm.

Where to Dine in Bonito
Juanita Restaurante
Juanita Restaurante
We had a wonderful dinner at the family-owned attractive Juanita Restaurante where we began our evening with Guavira Caipirinha cocktails (cachaça, lime juice, sugar, and juice from the guavira, (a regional berry-like fruit), followed by one of the freshwater fish "stars" on their menu, Paçu en Brasa. The grilled moist, flavorful, and boneless fish, a relative of the piranha, arrived sizzling hot on a platter topped with capers and accompanied by sautéed broccoli, potatoes, white rice, their house specialty of fried banana manioc (cassava) farofa made with fried bananas and manioc flour, and pirão de pintado, a "fish gravy" made from pintado (a freshwater catfish) broth and manioc flour.

Restaurante Marruá
Restaurante Marruá
Restaurante Marruá is located inside the upscale Marruá Hotel, where the restaurant gets high marks for the quality of their kitchen and inspired cuisine from the talented Chef Sylvio Eduardo Trujillo. Attractive surroundings and attentive, professional service complement the inspired Contemporary and Regional cuisine from this gastronomic kitchen. A few of the highlights of our dinner: Sealed salmon with a Sesame Crust presented with wasabi cream, grilled cherry tomatoes, sautéed mushroom caps, and ginger soy dipping sauce; Grilled Pintado, a regional freshwater catfish, glazed with an orange vinaigrette, and garnished with chopped orange, sliced chili, finely sliced red onions, and cilantro, and nestled on a bed of pureed and grilled manioc (cassava). Dessert was luscious layers of pastry cream with strawberries marinated in a blend of balsamic vinegar and honey, and crispy meringues to add texture and a bit of sweetness. Crowned with whipped heavy cream mixed with honey and garnished with mint, the dessert was the crowning touch as a showcase for Chef Sylvio’s style.

A large tree grows in the center of the inviting outdoor dining space of the restaurant adding charm and character, and firmly establishes itself as a restaurant to stay. Owned by restauranteur and poet Antonio Carlos Silveira Soares the restaurant is a welcome respite in a city of great cuisine. We had an excellent dinner at Tapera Restaurante where we dined on two of their exceptional fish preparations of pintado (regional freshwater catfish), Natelha and à Bonito. The Natelha version was very tasty and consisted of catfish in a rich and flavorful spicy tomato sauce presented steaming in a terra cotta roof tile. à Bonito was pintado cooked with coconut milk and cream cheese, which was also delicious.

Adventure Paradise – Pantanal
Important Tips for Bonito and Pantanal
Bonito is focused on eco-tourism and as such they only allow a certain number of visitors to eco sites each day. Be sure to book your tours well in advance to not miss out.
For Water Sports (snorkeling), the sites request that you not use sunscreen, tanning lotions, or insect repellent to help keep the waters pristine.
Going hiking in the woods? Wear light colored clothing as dark colored clothing attracts mosquitos!
