Bonito

Bonito is a landlocked city in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, known primarily for its freshwater cenotes, caves, and crystal-clear rivers in the surrounding region. It is not on a coast or open ocean, and diving in Bonito centers on freshwater cave and river diving in designated sites and eco-friendly operations nearby. The area is famous for snorkeling and diving opportunities in pristine rivers like the ones that flow through the national park area, and visiting divers should expect guided cave and river dives with strong visibility, light currents, and unique freshwater fauna. If you’re after open-water saltwater diving, you’ll need to travel to the coast, but for inland divers, Bonito offers a notable freshwater diving experience in a protected setting.
