Bonito: Nature, Views and Waterfall

Bonito can be explored from different perspectives: Experiences include protected natural areas, a cable car offering panoramic views of the city, and a waterfall where rappelling is possible. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Bonito, you can consider whether nature, views or an active waterfall experience should be a particular highlight of your trip.

Natural areas with different conservation purposes

Parque Natural Municipal Matas do Mucuri Hymalaia covers 105 hectares. It serves to protect natural ecosystems of great ecological importance and scenic beauty. Recreation and ecotourism are also possible there. Nature experiences and conservation go hand in hand in this park: its particular focus is on ecosystems, while recreation and ecotourism are also listed as possibilities.

Admission to Parque Natural Municipal Matas do Mucuri Hymalaia requires a permit from the Secretaria de Desenvolvimento Rural e Meio Ambiente. Take this requirement into account when planning if the park is of interest to you.

Monumento Natural Municipal Orquidário Pedra da Rosária covers 52.8 hectares. It protects natural sites that are rare, unique or particularly scenic. Its land may be public or private; admission to this natural monument also requires a permit from the same Secretaria. When comparing Bonito’s natural areas, you can distinguish between the park’s protection of natural ecosystems and the monument’s protection of special natural sites. A permit is required for admission to both.

Panoramic views and special destinations

Teleférico Gov. Eduardo Campos connects Bonito’s event grounds with Capela de Nossa Senhora do Monte Serrat. The cable car is 1,200 metres long, the ride takes 12 minutes, and along the way it offers panoramic views of the city. This makes a scenic ride distinct from a visit to the natural areas: the focus here is on the connection between two named destinations and the view of Bonito.

Capela de Nossa Senhora do Monte Serrat was built in 1954 in fulfilment of a vow. This story behind its construction gives the cable car’s destination its own historical significance. If you are interested in culture and history, you can therefore include the chapel as another topic in your travel plans. Mirante da Pedra do Rodeadouro also offers panoramic views. Along with the view of the city from Teleférico, this gives you a choice of two named viewing experiences, without assuming any particular viewing direction for the Mirante.

Waterfall and active experience

Cachoeira Véu de Noiva 1 has a drop of approximately 32 metres. Rappelling is possible at this waterfall. The approximate height remains an important part of the description; it is not exactly 32 metres. Rappelling distinguishes this experience from the panoramic views and natural areas with their conservation purposes. If you would like to include an activity at a waterfall in your travel plans, this is the option mentioned.

These varied experiences give you a practical starting point for finding a suitable holiday destination, without requiring you to choose a particular area within Bonito.
