Bonito, Brazil

The journey to Bonito was supposed to be 2 days drive. We headed out on our merry way but by mid evening it was becoming clear that we would have to push on to Bonito due to a lack of proper campsites or bush camps. It was a long 15 or so hour day that saw us head west so we gained an hour to the day and have a truck tea on the go consisting of sandwiches and also a treat from home, a 'club' biscuit!

Bonito is a lovely little but touristy town. Our extra day was well spent with most of the group going to a built up section of the river outside of town to go snorkelling with some huge fish. The next day we headed to the Sucuri river where we paddled upstream to then float 1.5km downstream. We didn't see as many big fish but there was plenty of variety and it was very relaxing. Everyone has had a great time here. The fun continues as we head for a few more activities in the Southern Pantanal.
