Praia da Figueira is an iconic river beach in Bonito, part of the wetland river ecosystem that highlights the biodiversity of the Pantanal region. Culturally, it represents Brazil’s sustainable ecotourism, attracting visitors to appreciate preserved nature without environmental impact. Its name comes from a century-old fig tree on the site.

The best period is the dry season (May to September), when the water is clearer and the level is ideal for swimming. Go early in the morning (around 9:00 AM) to avoid crowds and enjoy the gentle sun. Avoid the rainy season (October to April) due to possible flooding.

The main access is via dirt trails and stairs down to the river, making it moderately accessible; there are partial ramps, but it is not ideal for wheelchairs. We recommend adapted tours or checking with local operators for assistance. For more details, visit the Bonito accessibility guide.

Nearby, just 10 to 15 km away, you can visit the Sucuri River for floating tours in crystal-clear waters or Mimoso Cave with its rock formations. Bonito also offers Anhumas Abyss for diving. Explore combined packages at Bonito Tourism.

Bring swimwear, sunscreen, insect repellent, and water shoes for the rocks; do not forget water and snacks, as options on site are limited. Book in advance during high season and respect ecological rules to avoid damaging the environment. Information phone: +55 67 3255-2187.
