Tubing down Formoso River (Parque Ecológico)

Parque Ecológico Rio Formoso (Formoso River Eco Park) is one of the activities in Bonito MS Brazil that is closest to downtown, making it very easy to get to. Different activities happen at the place and tubing is one of them.

Enjoying Formoso River's crystal clear waters while you sit on a tube that is going down its currents and falls is an experience that cannot be left out of our plans! Not only can you do that safely, but you can also use the place's facilities, with plenty of things to do! The lake has a zip line, swimming docks, stand up paddling and more for you to play with before or after your tubing time!

OPERATION*:

- When you arrive at the main areas, be sure to hand your voucher in at the front desk;
- Pay attention to the information on times and groups, which are never more than 8 people at a time;
- When it is time to begin, the instructor will gather everyone to provide initial information and hand out the life vests;
- Then, the instructor will lead the group on a 10 minute walk that ends at Formoso River bank, where the activity starts;
- The tubes will already be at this place, which is also where the instructors will provide more information on how to handle the tubes and keep the activity safe;
- Once everything is clarified and questions have been answered, the instructors will help each person get on the river and begin;
- Flip-flops and other shoes are left behind at this point, because the park staff will take them to the spot where tubing ends;
- The group then goes about 1200 meters down Formoso River, with the instructors always nearby and going through falls and currents;
- At the end of the activity, the instructors will point out the exit dock and help each person out in the process;
- The tubes are left at the designated spot and this is also the time where flip-flops and other shoes are returned;
- The walk back is even shorter than the walk to the river and ends back at the main areas;
- Once at the main areas, everyone is free to change and/or enjoy the lake, depending on their own schedule for the day;
*This whole operation usually lasts around 1 hour and 30 minutes, but it may vary due to weather conditions and/or specific group needs;
