Fervedouro Rio Azul Flotation: The Ultimate Nature Experience in Bonito/Bodoquena/MS
Located in the midst of the breathtaking landscape of Bodoquena/MS, the Fervedouro Rio Azul Circuit is an unforgettable experience for those seeking direct contact with nature, crystal-clear waters, easy trails, and the unique phenomenon of the fervedouro. The tour offers a complete immersion, with breakfast, floating on the Rio Azul, a boat tour, and a visit to the Fervedouro Rio Azul, all accompanied by expert guides.
The experience begins with a delicious welcome breakfast at the reception, where visitors also receive the necessary gear (vest, mask and snorkel) and participate in a safety briefing.
From there, the circuit unfolds in several stages that combine light adventure and breathtaking landscapes:
Hike to the meeting of the Salobra and Azul rivers (800 m): A leisurely hike leads to the crossing point between the rivers.
Trail along the Azul River (820m): Continuing through the riparian forest, visitors walk to the source of the Azul River, where the aquatic part of the tour begins.
Tubing on the Rio Azul (820 m): With incredibly clear, bluish waters, tubing allows you to observe the lush underwater vegetation and different species of fish up close. The route is taken at a leisurely pace, accompanied by trained guides.
Boat ride (2 km): At the end of the float, visitors embark on a boat ride that covers about 2 km, passing through the transition between the Cerrado and the Pantanal, a show of biodiversity.
Trail to the Fervedouro (200m): After disembarking, a short trail leads to the amazing Fervedouro Rio Azul.
Fervedouro Rio Azul Contemplation and Immersion: At this magical spot, visitors have the opportunity to enter a bubbling spring that prevents the body from sinking, a rare and enchanting natural phenomenon. It's the ideal time to relax, take photos, and connect with the energy of nature.
Return to the reception area: The return takes place along easy trails, with a final crossing and a 400-meter hike to the headquarters.
Regional lunch included: To end on a high note, visitors enjoy a full regional lunch at the reception centre, with typical dishes from the cuisine of Mato Grosso do Sul.
