A COOL WAY TO SPEND THE DAY
A cheap and fantastic way to spend the day around Bonito is to bring a visit to Balneário Municipal (Municipal Spa), just 7km from Bonito. Bring your own snorkel gear to enjoy the cold and clear waters of the Formoso River and admire the great amounts of big, colourful fish. The great thing about this site is that the fish here are so used to people that they get so close that you can even touch them. Visibility in the water is best when the sun is at its highest point, as the river is surrounded by trees and plants which will cause shade in the river.
TIME FOR SPORTS & TERERÉ
Besides refreshing in the (very) cool river water, you can play volleyball or beach soccer and there are cafeterias, restaurants and kiosks with barbecue grills and toilets (wheelchair adapted). You can also enjoy your own picnic at the big grass field along the river. It is a great place to mingle with locals or just observe the Brazilian culture. You could easily spend the whole day here; no matter if you like an action-packed day or a day of sunbathing and drinking tereré (an infusion of yerba mate, similar to mate but prepared with cold water and ice rather than with hot water, like they do in other parts of South America. Tereré is mainly consumed in the state Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil and Paraguay).
