Snorkeling is the main thing to do in Bonito MS Brazil, no doubt! The rivers are so transparent, that they are well known all around the world! One of them, Sucuri River, is considered one of the most transparent in the world. When you snorkel at Barra do Sucuri, you will sometimes feel as if you were flying, because the water is clear, it can seem invisible!

Brazilian Portuguese sometimes uses the word barra to refer to the sand banks that form when rivers flow into the ocean. In the name Barra do Sucuri, the word is used to describe the fact that the area includes the place where Sucuri River flows into Formoso River, one of the largest in Bonito MS Brazil's are. Sucuri means anaconda and the river was named this way, because looking from up high, the shape and color resemble a snake.
