Bonito

River Weekend difficulty: Easy with kids: yes

A corner of rivers so clear that snorkeling is like floating in a giant aquarium full of fish. Waterfalls, blue-water caves and grottoes make Bonito a water park made by nature.

With kids

Float downriver watching fish on every side
Count how many different kinds of fish appear
Peek into the Gruta do Lago Azul, with its turquoise water
Splash at the foot of a waterfall in a natural swimming spot

Accessibility: 5+ for river floating with a life vest. The water is cool and calm; you drift with the current, no effort.

With family

Snorkel in the Sucuri River or the Rio da Prata
Go down into the Gruta do Lago Azul and its inner lagoon
Tour a swimming spot of waterfalls and natural slides
Look for toucans, monkeys and macaws along the trails
