Bonito, one of Brazil's most popular ecotourism destinations, is known for its rivers, lakes, caves, and many species of fish and birds. The high concentration of calcium in the water causes everything else to precipitate out, creating waters so clear that one can see the bottom of its many bodies of water. We are in the midst of a five-day trip with the Weavers to this fantastic place.
The first day, we went to a municipal beach located on the banks of a narrow river. A natural rock bridge made a nice viewpoint for watching hundreds of big carp swimming around. You wouldn't know it from these shots, but families were picnicking, playing beach volleyball, and swimming all over the place.
Surprisingly, given their density, the fish didn't bother us when we were swimming.
On the second day, we went to the Lagoa Azul Grotto, a wide-mouthed cave with spectacular stalactites, stalagmites, and a lake of an incredible blue at the bottom. This is Bonito's most-visited site.
It was quite hike down into the depths of the earth, but the Weavers were troopers.
This picture isn't altered in any way; it's really that blue.
Jo translated the guide's descriptions of the cave's geology for the Weavers while Dave took pictures. Her Portuguese is amazing, especially considering that she has never formally studied it.
Annie stayed behind with a babysitter on this trip, but allegedly she had a wonderful time blowing kisses to the hotel staff and didn't cry once!
