The Warmth of the Farm and the Waters of the Mimoso River

Located just 24 km from Bonito, Estância Mimosa welcomes its visitors at the main farmhouse, a place that immediately evokes the feeling of a country home, with its inviting hammocks and the aroma of fresh coffee in the air. This is where the journey begins, in an environment that radiates hospitality.

The entire tour unfolds along the Mimoso River, which gives the farm its name. Its crystal clear waters flow down the Serra da Bodoquena, forming a route of ten waterfalls of different shapes and sizes, connected by a charming trail. The lush riparian forest creates a green corridor that is home to rich fauna and flora, turning the walk into a constant discovery.

A Gentle Trail and Revitalizing Swims

The heart of Estância Mimosa is its ecological trail. With a route of approximately 2,800 meters round trip, the path is considered light to moderate and is well structured with suspended walkways, viewpoints, and stairways that ensure safety and comfort throughout the walk.

The group, always accompanied by a local guide, explores the forest and its waterfalls, with stops for swimming at nine different points. The experience is dynamic and filled with opportunities to cool off.

Highlights of the Route:

Salto Waterfall: About 6 meters high, it is one of the tallest along the route and features a jumping platform that guarantees fun for the bravest visitors.

Poço do Amor (Love Pool): A charming spot and one of the most Instagrammable places on the tour, perfect for a relaxing swim for two.

Sinhozinho Waterfall: A refreshing waterfall that flows into a calm and peaceful natural pool.

Strategic Viewpoints: Along the trail, several viewpoints offer panoramic views of the forest and the Mimoso River valley, ideal for contemplation and for capturing the beauty of the Serra da Bodoquena.

The trail and waterfall tour lasts around 3 to 4 hours, at a pleasant pace that allows you to enjoy each stop without rushing.

The Famous Mimosa Lunch

After returning from the trail, the final reward awaits you: the famous Estância Mimosa lunch. Served from a traditional wood burning stove, one of the farm’s greatest traditions, the feast is a tribute to the cuisine of southern Mato Grosso do Sul.

With an impressive variety of hot dishes, fresh salads harvested from the farm’s own organic garden, and roasted meats, the meal is an unforgettable gastronomic experience. And of course, homemade desserts such as dulce de leche and papaya sweets crown the experience perfectly. It is the true definition of food with soul.
