Boca da Onca Waterfall
The Boca da Onca Waterfall is one of several falls near Bonito. You can find it in an area of forest that is lush and green. People enjoying their Brazil tours here will be invited to take a dip in the picturesque plunge pool at the base of the falls, where you can feel the rhythm of the water falling around you.
The water drops from a height of about a hundred metres, cascading in several sections, rounding and smoothing the rocks into curved shapes. There are steps in the pools and caves in the walls of the gorge that you can swim through.
Once again, ecological concerns mean that visitors on holidays to Brazil are asked to take a shower before they enter the pools because some chemicals in sun cream can be poisonous to fish and local wildlife. If you're lucky, you might see vultures, toucans, armadillos or anteaters in the area surrounding the falls.
