Snorkeling at Lagoa Misteriosa
Jardim MS
Balneário do Sol was one of Bonito MS Brazil's first activities, so it is very traditional! Throughout the years, it has been one of the main places for couples, families and even school or company groups to visit.
The place is large, with a wide range of free play activities. Because it is a swim area, you get away from the typical Bonito time restrictions and enjoy the day however you choose. As long as you stay within the working hours, you can play soccer, play pool, goof around the giant chessboard, get your picture taken with the animals, jump off the diving board, throw yourself off the zipline and enjoy the Formoso River waters whichever ways you would like! All of this is already included in the entrance fee.
The main English word found to translate the Portuguese word "balneário" is "balneary", however these are different things. Balnearies tend to be rooms, closed off places, while balnearios are typically natural swim areas out in the open, usually by rivers or at the beach. This is why H2O Ecoturismo e Eventos has decided to just use "Swim Areas" when discussing this kind of activity in Bonito. So, the name Balneário do Sol basically means The Sun's Swim Area, which is a fitting name for a place that just intends to be a fun play area by the river.
