This combo works best for those who do not want to spend the entire day at the same pace. In the morning, the focus is on the quiet contemplation of Buraco das Araras, with a 970-meter trail around a 100-meter-deep sinkhole, a dimension that helps explain why the viewpoint holds visitors' attention for so long.
In the afternoon, the proposal changes completely: the mandatory closed-toe shoes come off and free time at Jardim Ecopark begins, with river swimming, hammocks, sports courts, and an on-site restaurant. We recommend it for those who like to combine wildlife observation and a day-use river park structure in the same itinerary, without having to choose only one of these experiences.
In the first half of the day, visitors walk around the crater, stop at two viewpoints, and observe the red macaws with a local monitor.
After that, the body asks for a different pace: Jardim Ecopark offers river swimming, shade for resting, and a structure designed for spending hours without rushing.
For those traveling with family or in a group, this real change of environment usually weighs more in the decision than the simple idea of “two tours in one day.”
Jardim Ecopark concentrates the most practical side of the combo, with a restaurant, showers, changing room, Wi-Fi, and kiosks with barbecue grills available for rental. Wheelchair accessibility, adapted bathrooms, and the rest area help those who need more comfort between one stage and the next.
We know well the profile of travelers who make the most of this itinerary, and we recommend it for those who want contemplation in the morning but do not want to give up ending the day with day-use structure and a river swim.
📍 45 km from downtown Bonito · ⏱ 8 hours · Difficulty: easy
The itinerary has a clear division between observation and free time, and this helps you plan clothing, footwear, and expectations before booking.
The first stage takes place at Buraco das Araras, on a 970-meter contemplative trail accompanied by a local monitor.
The route passes two viewpoints around the sinkhole and requires closed-toe shoes secured to the foot, without exception. The walk is light and leaves room for what truly defines this stage: stopping, looking with time, and watching the movement of the birds in the rocky crevices.
The crater is about 100 meters deep, a measurement that places visitors before a scale that is difficult to imagine from photos alone.
The red macaws use the rocky crevices as shelter, and that is what turns the stop at the viewpoints into something more than a simple panoramic view. Those in a hurry tend to enjoy this part less, because the value of the tour lies precisely in the time spent observing and in the silence of the place.
After the contemplative part, the day continues to Balneário Jardim Ecopark, on the banks of Rio da Prata. There, the logic changes: visitors can swim, rest in the hammocks, use the volleyball court, play beach soccer, try the slackline, and move around the river park without a rigid itinerary.
Food and drinks are allowed, but glass containers are not permitted, and this rule should be taken seriously when packing your bag.
The combo ends with Day Use time at the river park, where the restaurant and showers are available only during this second stage of the day. Many people prefer to use this structure to have lunch calmly, change clothes, and stay in the river until it is time to return.
The order of the activities may change due to weather, operation, or safety reasons, so it is worth keeping some margin in the day and not treating the itinerary as something completely fixed.
The trail at Buraco das Araras is 970 meters long and passes two viewpoints
Closed-toe shoes secured to the foot are mandatory during the morning stage
Children may participate, as long as they are accompanied by a responsible adult
Failure to show up at the scheduled time may be treated as a no-show
The informed structure includes accessibility and an adapted bathroom
This itinerary works best for those who enjoy nature but do not want an entire day of hiking or an entire day spent only at a river park.
The difficulty is easy, there are no age or weight restrictions, and the structure at Jardim Ecopark helps families, couples, and groups of friends who want to end the afternoon comfortably.
If the priority is only adventure or only river swimming, we recommend looking at a more focused product; here, the right proposal is to enjoy the contrast between contemplation and leisure.
The main expectation adjustment is to understand that the day combines contemplation and free time, and that this change appears even in what you wear throughout the itinerary.
In the morning, the indispensable item is closed-toe footwear secured to the foot; in the afternoon, the focus shifts to swimwear, a towel, and free time at the river park.
For those who prefer a predictable itinerary from beginning to end, it is better to consider that the order of the stages may change without prior notice for operational or weather-related reasons.
Both. The morning is focused on observation at Buraco das Araras, and the afternoon is free at Jardim Ecopark, with river swimming and day-use structure.
Since there are two stages on the same day in Jardim/MS, it is worth leaving with the logistics aligned and with some schedule flexibility. We recommend treating this itinerary as a full day dedicated to the combo, without adding another tour afterward. Bonitour offers some transportation options to assist you with this transfer.
