What to know before you go.
The local experience
A short trail leads to the main spring of the Rio Salobra (river), the starting point for a float of about 1 km over more than 600 upwellings. Along the way you can see fish and the wildlife of the riverside forest.
In the Bom Jardim area, it offers a float of about 710 meters down the Rio Salobra (river) and a swimming area reached by trail. It is next to Aquário Encantado and Reino Encantado.
A spring of clear blue water where you snorkel surrounded by schools of piraputanga and dourado fish. Visibility reaches several meters.
A lagoon surrounded by palm trees where dozens of blue-and-yellow macaws arrive to roost in the late afternoon. The show of flight and noise lasts only a few minutes and is worth the trip.
