Bonito

Swimming with the fish at the 'municipal' swimming area in Bonito

Our group all ready for snorkelling down the river in Bonito

Toucan at the bird park in Bonito
After the same lengthy journey out to the Pantanal (this time in daylight) we took a minivan to Bonito.

As our guide described, this is something of a holiday resort for richer Brazilians.

The highlight of our time here was a snorkelling trip down one of the most crystal clear rivers in the world teeming with beautiful fish. It was an incredible experience. (More on theat later)

The next day I went with a couple of outher members of our group to the ´municipal´swimming which was a beautiful recreation area alongisde the river with swimming in the river and a lagoon area (with plenty of fish again). I think we were the only non Brazilians there. It was really great!
