Duration
4 hours
Overview
-
Our tour starts with a pick up service from your centrally located hotel in Bonito, to take to the Gruta do Lago Azul (Blue Lake Cave), located in the Serra da Bodoquena area. This is a place you must visit, as is the postcard picture of Bonito.
The excursion begins with a sightseeing walk along a 300 mt trail (984 ft). The path is a natural formation, a result of the footsteps marks of animals and people over the years. Once in the entrance of the cave, we start our way down through a 200 mt stair carved in the ground. There, you will be marveled by the intense blueish color of the waters and the underground landscape, formed by millions of years old rock formations.
One of the main reasons this place is so well preserved is because, until 1924, no human set foot inside. Before that, the only evidence of life inside the cave, were the massive mammal fossils from about 10,000 years ago that were discovered by cave divers, they belonged to the Saber-tooth tiger.
