Itinerary
Step into the heart of one of Earth’s rarest geological phenomena on the "Buraco Das Araras" tour. Trek 900 meters through lush vegetation to a colossal crater—once a cave—that now hosts a unique ecosystem. Birdwatchers will delight in sightings of scarlet macaws and other species that inhabit this special habitat. Led by expert guides, this nature tour is perfect for those fascinated by geology and wildlife. Its unique selling point: a chance to witness one of only five such geological marvels in the world.
Overview
The tour begins with the pick up of the passengers in their hotels in the center of Bonito, to start a journey of about 55 km to the district of Jardim, where the Buraco das Araras is located.
Once at the destination, and accompanied by a professional guide who will share all his knowledge with us, we will go to the huge crater, which has a depth of 120m and a diameter of 500m of pure natural beauty.
During the tour, we will be able to admire a great variety of birds, around 120 species, especially the scarlet macaws, very characteristic of Brazil.
Inside the valley, given its isolation and the different conditions outside, a new ecosystem was created, with a particular fauna and flora.
Also noteworthy is the presence of a large lake inhabited by alligators; it is still a mystery to most experts how they survive in this environment.
The hike, which lasts 90 minutes, is a pleasant 900m walk that will take us along the vegetation path to the different panoramic views that allow us to see the crater in all its immensity.
The tour ends with the return of the passengers to their hotels in Bonito.
