The Global Meaningful Travel Map
Recanto Ecológico Rio da Prata
OUR EXPERIENCES
Founded in 1995, we are pioneers in the region's ecotourism, emphasizing sustainability from the start. In 1999, the Private Natural Heritage Reserve (RPPN) Fazenda Cabeceira do Prata was established, home to the Recanto Ecológico Rio da Prata's snorkeling tour, covering 20% of the farm's total area as a perpetual conservation unit. Our focus on outdoor activities prioritizes environmental conservation. We host small groups of up to 10 visitors led by expert guides. Notably, we lead in ecotourism safety, holding an ISO 21101 certification for over 13 years. Immerse yourself in crystal-clear waters, surrounded by schools of fish and diverse wildlife, on Bonito, Mato Grosso do Sul's most celebrated tour. Activities include snorkeling, scuba diving, horseback riding, and bird watching.
