✨ 2026: The Year to Experience Brazil

If there’s a perfect moment to rediscover Brazil, it’s 2026.A year filled with fresh energy, long weekends, easier connections, and a growing search for destinations that offer real experiences not just trips, but moments that transform.

And among the travelers who seek authenticity, Bonito, Jardim, Bodoquena and Miranda are rising as the complete ecotourism route in Brazil.

Here, nature, comfort and authenticity go hand in hand.Between crystal-clear rivers, lush green mountains and the Pantanal sunset, you’ll find the ideal setting to make 2026 your most inspiring year.

Bonito/MS – The Beginning of the Crystal-Clear Journey

Bonito is the natural starting point of this route. In 2026, the destination continues as a global reference in sustainable tourism, combining environmental preservation with unforgettable experiences.Every trail, every dive and every spring reveals the purest side of Brazilian nature.

Bonito is the kind of place that slows you down. Here, time is measured not by the clock, but by the sound of flowing water, the flight of macaws and the golden reflections dancing on the river.

Snorkeling – The Signature Experience of Bonito

Few places in the world offer the sensation of floating over waters this clear.Rivers like Sucuri, Aquário Natural and Nascente Azul provide almost mystical experiences — drifting slowly above a transparent underwater universe filled with fish and vibrant vegetation.

Every snorkel is unique. Always different, always unforgettable.

Caves – Where Time Turns Into Art

The caves of Bonito are gateways to a silent, monumental world.Gruta São Miguel impresses with its massive halls and ancient rock formations, while Gruta do Mimoso hides a blue lake that reflects natural light in a surreal, hypnotic display.

Waterfalls and Balneários – Rest That Revitalizes

For those seeking gentle contact with nature, the balneários and waterfall trails are the perfect pause.Parque das Cachoeiras, Ceita Corê and Boca da Onça offer crystal clear falls, accessible trails and great infrastructure to relax between dives.

In 2026, Bonito remains Brazil’s #1 destination for those who seek nature, sustainability and experiences that touch the soul.

Jardim – The Blue Refuge of the Serra da Bodoquena

Just 70 km from Bonito, Jardim is the neighbor jewel many still haven’t discovered.In 2026, it becomes the ideal escape for those craving tranquility without giving up beauty and structure.

With wilder landscapes and a peaceful atmosphere, Jardim is the perfect balance between countryside calm and visually striking nature.

Rio da Prata – A Dive You’ll Never Forget

The snorkeling at Rio da Prata is one of the most impressive in Brazil.Along the route, visitors float through more than 2 km of incredibly transparent waters, where fish and plants sway with the current. It’s a deep connection between body, mind and nature — the outside world seems to disappear.

Buraco das Araras – A Symphony of Color and Sound

Near Rio da Prata, Buraco das Araras is a natural amphitheater 500 meters wide and 100 meters deep.Dozens of red macaws nest in the canyon walls, flying in bright scarlet and blue flocks.A show only nature can choreograph with such perfection.

Bodoquena – Where Rivers, Traditions and Adventure Meet

Serra da Bodoquena is the backbone connecting the whole region.Formed by limestone rocks, it’s responsible for the purity of the waters that make Bonito and Jardim so special.

In 2026, Bodoquena steps into the spotlight as a destination on its own — perfect for trails, waterfalls and more exclusive experiences.

Waterfalls of Serra da Bodoquena

A perfect blend of adventure and contemplation.The trail, surrounded by native forest, leads to a sequence of waterfalls and green-toned natural pools.Every stop is an invitation to dive and capture incredible photos.

Canyons of the Salobra River

If one place embodies the grandeur of Serra da Bodoquena, it’s the Canyons of the Salobra River.Vertical walls, emerald water reflections and silence broken only by the river current create a scene that feels otherworldly.The tour mixes adventure, photography and immersion in the essence of the region.

Miranda – The Gateway to the Southern Pantanal

To close the route, Miranda marks the transition from the Serra to the Pantanal.In 2026, it will be one of the most sought-after destinations for those wanting to experience Brazil’s fauna in its purest form.

Miranda perfectly blends adventure and contemplation — with safaris, boat tours and ranch stays offering a complete immersion in Pantanal culture.

Wildlife Safaris – A Living Documentary

Pantanal safaris are a daily spectacle.At sunrise, the sound of jabirus and macaws fills the landscape; at sunset, golden light reflects on the wetlands.Capybaras, caimans, anteaters and even jaguars (with luck!) can be spotted.

Pantanal Traditions

The lodges and ranches of Miranda preserve the essence of regional culture:coffee filtered in a cloth strainer, arroz carreteiro cooked in a big iron pot, and tereré shared in the late afternoon.

More than a trip — it’s a true immersion in Brazilian heritage.
