A snorkeling destination that can only be booked three months in advance, where sunscreen is not allowed throughout the entire journey, demonstrating a strong commitment to environmental protection

Because of its unique geographical features, including the Blue Hole and Green River bestowed by Mother Nature, this place has become a worthwhile tourist destination in Brazil, especially for snorkeling. To protect and sustainably develop the area, there is no unrestricted development of tourist resources, and each destination has a daily limit on the number of visitors. Therefore, those who wish to travel here sometimes need to plan their trip three months in advance. Bonito is most famous for its diving. Thanks to the excellent ecological conservation, the numerous rivers are not only clear but also home to a wide variety of fish species. Snorkeling (Image 1--Image 10) There are many options for snorkeling spots, such as Rio da Prata, Rio Sucuri, and Nascente Azul. It is important to note that sunscreen is not allowed when participating in any local snorkeling programs. All local attractions have partnerships with environmental protection associations, and guides will remind tourists to protect the environment during their visits. Whether snorkeling in any river or natural pool, you can see a variety of underwater life. The limestone on the riverbed filters the water, and thanks to the local efforts in environmental and water resource protection, you can now see the clear underwater world as it is. Deep Diving (Image 11-14) Bonito's Lagoa Misteriosa, the Mysterious Lagoon In 1998, it was measured by professional divers to have a depth of up to 220 meters, making it considered the deepest natural diving cave in Brazil. It is important to note that due to algae reproduction at the bottom, visibility during diving is affected from October to April of the following year, so it is closed during this period. Diving is also subject to weather, temperature, and other conditions, and is only allowed when these are satisfactory. Abismo Anhumas Compared to the Mysterious Lagoon, it is a bit 'darker'. To get here, you first have to rappel down more than 70 meters to the bottom of the stalactite cave before you can deep dive. Every tourist participating in this trip need not worry, as there will be a practice session the day before to learn how to rappel, and only then will you be allowed to join the trip. At the bottom of this abyss, there are stalactites with millions of years of history. The visibility is relatively dim compared to the Mysterious Lagoon, and not only does the price filter out some people, but the scene itself filters out most. It is precisely because of this that the experience is truly unique.
