Praia da Figueira

Praia da Figueira is one of the largest swim areas in Bonito MS Brazil. Known to have the warmest water of the swim areas (Because it is a pond, not the river directly), the place has everything visitors need. Families, couples or larger groups, all find things to enjoy at Praia da Figueira!

The pond has Bonito's tallest zipline and kiosks for enjoying drinks or food in the water. Around the pond, you find a sand area and also grass areas to sunbathe, play volleyball, or even do some slacklining. Some extra fees, paid directly to the staff at the place, will allow you to do some stand up paddling, 4 wheeling or more!

When looking for translations of the Brazilian word "balneário" to English, the word most often returned is "balneary", but they are not the same thing. Balnearies in English refer to things like old time bath houses. Balneários in Brazilian Portuguese are natural swim areas, usually out in the open, like at the beach or by a river or lake. That is the reason H2O Ecoturismo e Eventos chose to just call these types of activities in Bonito "Swim Areas". It feels more accurate.

Praia means beach and figueira means fig tree, so the name Praia da Figueira would translate to Fig Tree Beach. The reason for the name is that the place really has a huge fig tree. It is quite impressive and its shade is used for the hammocks area.
