Bonito

Doing Tiroleza is great fun- James became an expert

Bonito- MS

Tati and James snorkelling in Sucuri river, with incredibly clear waters and beautiful forest around it! Bonito- MS

Walkways on the way to Sucuri River, passing through the forest in Bonito. The local guides have a very good knowledge of the local fauna and flora.

The spring of Sucuri River, where the river starts (the water comes from underground). The tones of green and blue are amazing! 

One of the many natural pools formed on the base of the waterfalls. Great for swimming and massaging the back under the falls. The scenery is fantastic!

A Sucuri snake, this one a pet on the farm. You can get very close for a picture- apparently a harmless animal! Did we get close enough?

The Abyss Anhumas is an unforgettable adventure- from the absailing of 72 m to enter the cave....

... to the scuba diving around the huge cones (they provide you with a flashlight- it's almost a night dive). We did it all and definetely don't regret. The "Abyss" was the highlight of our trip to Bonito (we like adventure sports!)

The fish in Rio da Prata snorkelling trip were the most colorful and abundant. The almost 2 km down the river was a delightful experience to the eyes

Foz do Iguaçu

The train in the Argentinean side, taking you closer to the falls. A short scenic ride.

Foz do Iguaçu- PR

The walkways in the Argentinean side, providing different angles from the falls. We wanted to see them all!

The famous "Devil's Throat" in the Argentinean side. An amazing amount of water, pure energy!

Absolutely beautiful!

One of the many view points on the Brazilian side, providing a panoramic view of the falls. Incredibly big!

Tati in a view point in the Brazilian side. The opportunities for pictures are many.

The Macuco Safari tour, in the mouth of the falls, moments before us arriving to the base of the big falls (in the far end). The boat driver manouvers very close to rocks, going up the river, making it a great adventure!

Do you see the boat there, under the falls? It's us, shouting hurray and getting soaking wet!

What a thrill!

The electric powered vehicle that will take you through the forest and down to the river bank, where your adventure starts. The guide explains about the flora and fauna on the way.

Another way to see the river and the forest surrounding it, is taking part in a trip by rowing boat, taking it slow to admire the river margins. 

Pantanal

Pantanal: going through the walkways to arrive to your room you can see alligators, monkeys capybaras and many colourful birds.

The adapted vehicle that took us through the wetlands of Pantanal for a photo safari. Great fun, altough the mosquitos could still follow us!

On the farms we went horseriding. The horses are easy to manage and the best way to see the Pantanal - we even crossed some small streams with them.

A deserved rest on hammocks after the activities and a big homemade lunch on the farm in Pantanal

Our guide guaranteed that the river in that part didn't have alligators or piranhas. Would you believe him? We did and had a great swim, although we still don't understand why the guide himself didn't enter the water!

We saw a couple of lontras (otters) in the rivers, sharing the area with many alligators. They were playful and liked to show off.
