Our day starts with a trip to a private ecological reserve called Recanto Ecologico Rio da Prata. We are outfitted in snorkel gear and transported to a trailhead for a 30 minute walk to a natural paradise.










After a delicious lunch we transfer to the Buraco das Araras, a huge sinkhole created when the roof of a limestone cavern collapsed millions of years ago. The walls of the formation, and the surrounding vegetation, are the home of hundreds of brilliant Macaws.
