- Buraco das Araras without transportation - contemplation

Let's visit Buraco das Araras, one of the most impressive and surprising places in the region, capable of enchanting visitors of all ages. It is a natural sinkhole, an enormous geological formation that impresses with its dimensions: approximately 127 meters deep and about 500 meters in diameter, creating a unique and breathtaking landscape.
This true natural sanctuary is home to approximately 50 pairs of macaws, mostly scarlet macaws, which constantly fly overhead in a vibrant spectacle of colors and sounds, while tending to their nests in the sinkhole walls. At certain times, it is possible to observe flocks flying in groups, providing an exciting and unforgettable scene for visitors.
For better birdwatching, several viewpoints equipped with telescopes have been installed around the sinkhole, allowing close observation not only of macaws, but also other species that inhabit the area, such as curicacas, caracaras, blackbirds, gralhas, parrots, and parakeets, making the tour even richer in biodiversity.
Access to Buraco das Araras is via a walk of approximately 970 meters through the riparian forest, a pleasant and contemplative route where it is already possible to spot various birds along the trail, offering a true warm-up for the experience to come.
Visiting Buraco das Araras is a unique and unforgettable experience that combines extraordinary landscapes, intense contact with nature, and learning. Throughout the tour, visitors are accompanied by a specialized guide, whose detailed explanation of the formation of the site, its fauna and flora, makes the experience even more enriching.
This tour is an excellent option to do before or after snorkeling in the Rio da Prata, or even as a special stop for those arriving in or leaving Bonito, fitting perfectly into different itineraries in the region.
