It is recommended to allow between 3 and 4 hours to explore the main waterfalls and trails without rushing. This includes time for moderate walks and stops at the natural pools. If you go with a guide, the itinerary is designed to fit this time frame.
The park is part of the rich biodiversity of the Bonito region, a protected area that preserves the flora and fauna of the Pantanal and the Bodoquena Range, with a focus on environmental conservation since its creation in the 1990s. Culturally, it highlights the Indigenous heritage and sustainable ecotourism of Mato Grosso do Sul. It is an example of how tourism can help protect local ecosystems.
The best time is during the dry season, from May to September, when there is less rain and the waterfalls run clear; avoid the rainy season (October to April) because of possible flooding. Early morning is ideal to avoid the heat and enjoy the natural light in the grottos and waterfalls.
The park has trails with uneven sections and natural steps, so it is not fully accessible for wheelchairs, but there are easier routes near the entrance for visitors with limitations. It is advisable to contact the park in advance for adapted options; the park's phone number is +55 67 3255-1220. Check the Mato Grosso do Sul tourism website for more information.
Nearby, you can visit Blue Lake Cave (about 20 km away) or the Prata River for snorkeling, both iconic attractions in Bonito. There is also the Ecological Park Projeto Jiboia for wildlife. Combine visits for a full day exploring the region's nature.
Bring insect repellent, comfortable walking shoes, and a swimsuit for the natural pools; booking with a mandatory guide is recommended for safety. Drink plenty of water and protect your skin from the sun; do not forget a waterproof camera. For reservations, contact +55 67 3255-1220 or visit Bonito Brazil.
