Tubing down Formoso River (Cabanas)
Bonito MS
Abismo Anhumas is an activity in Bonito MS Brazil that hides something wonderful! It offers an experience like no other! It is a unique place! That is why it is not surprising that people come from all over the world to Bonito just to see it!
It is basically an enormous cave, as big as a football field, that has a lake so clear, it seems made up! The activities include rappelling, because it is the only way into the cave, and snorkeling, so that visitors can not only see, but actually experience, the lake's transparency.
It is quite an adventure for those who love nature and seek challenges! Simply put: It is outstanding!
- One, or two, days before the activity, go to the urban location downtown (Near the town's main square) to go through the MANDATORY training (Click here for more information);
- Once training has taken place, confirming your reservation's date and time, show up at the place itself, as directed by the instructor staff;
- Visitors go down into the cave in twos;
- The instructor staff will provide the safety equipment, help you put it on and provide assistance as needed on the way down;
- The whole is small at first, but becomes larger as people go down, eventually opening up to the point that you can see the entire cave around you;
- The 72-meter rapel descent ends on the docks where people get organized into groups and change clothes to get their snorkeling gear on;
- Once everyone is ready, the snorkeling instructors take visitors around the crystal clear lake, which is about 18 meters deep;
- After snorkeling, the raft ride takes you to see the cave's dry areas;
- Once the raft ride is finished, people are free to change into their dry clothes and get ready to leave;
- The exit, when authorized, is on the same rope as the way in, also in twos;
- After climbing the 72 meters up the rope, the top staff will help you get the safety equipment off and you are free to go;
*The operation usually takes around 3 hours, but can vary dues to weather conditions and/or group needs;
**The order in which the activities happen (Rappelling, snorkeling, raft, leaving) is always subject to change;
