The current guides you. Schools of fish keep you company. And for a few kilometers, you stop observing nature from the outside and become part of it.
Learn more about the experience ↗Why visit Rio da Prata?
Let the gentle current guide the way. Beneath the surface, light passes through the water, schools of fish fill the horizon and every movement reveals a landscape that seems to exist just for you.
Surprising underwater landscapes unfold in crystal-clear waters, accompanied by an extraordinary abundance and variety of fish. Piraputangas, dourados, curimbatás, piaus, matogrossinhos and other species turn every moment into a discovery.
A underwater world no photograph can contain.
In small groups of up to 10 visitors, a specialist guide accompanies every discovery and shares insights into life in the river. The gentle current leads you past underwater gardens and through clear waters. Gradually, the outside world fades away, leaving only the feeling of belonging to the river.
You, nature and nothing else.
Briefings, equipment and specialist guides take care of the details so you can be fully present. A pioneer in ecotourism safety management since 2010, Rio da Prata maintains a Safety Management System certified to ABNT NBR ISO 21101, with annual audits.
Close support, knowledge and peace of mind.
A pioneer in the region’s ecotourism, Rio da Prata was founded with environmental conservation among its guiding principles. Since 1995, we have welcomed visitors to share special moments in nature, combining experience, hospitality and respect for life. A journey built on care that continues with every new encounter.
Decades of care. Memories for a lifetime.
Established in 1999, the Fazenda Cabeceira do Prata Private Natural Heritage Reserve protects the snorkeling landscape in perpetuity. Growing native seedlings, restoring forests and sustainable practices are part of this daily care. Visiting means becoming part of this story.
Nature endures because care never ends.
Since 2013, lunch has been designed and overseen by Chef Paulo Machado. The buffet celebrates the flavors of Mato Grosso do Sul with regional dishes and produce harvested from the agroforestry system and organically managed vegetable garden.
Handcrafted from the farm's own milk, it spends around eight hours on a wood-burning stove until it reaches the ideal texture, aroma and flavor.
The horse's gentle rhythm, stories from people who know every path and hospitality around the table reveal a way of life that cannot be learned in a hurry.
You come for nature and leave with the memory of the farm.Recognition through awards

Jardim · MS
You look down and the bottom is not there. There are only beams of light, shades of blue and the serene vastness of floating above one of Brazil's most enigmatic places.
Learn more about the experience ↗Why visit Lagoa Misteriosa?
The sight of the underwater abyss stirs emotions that are hard to explain. Snorkeling or diving here is the closest feeling to flying over a world still unknown.
During the Blue Season, remarkable clarity and shades of blue transform the underwater landscape. In favorable conditions, you can look through dozens of meters of water and even see the treetops. Visibility follows the lagoon’s natural cycles.
Light descends. The blue seems endless.
In 1998, diver Gilberto Menezes de Oliveira reached 220 meters without seeing the bottom. One of Brazil’s deepest flooded caves still holds this mystery. That was an exploration depth, not the depth of visitor excursions.
Some landscapes impress. This one redefines depth.
An interpretive trail leads to the viewpoint and then to the water. Small fish, beams of light and visibility of up to 40 meters accompany the snorkeling experience.
Your body stays on the surface. Your gaze goes much further.
Introductory dives welcome first-time divers; specific routes serve basic and advanced certified divers. Specialist instructors accompany every stage.
A deep adventure guided with complete attention.
Since 2020, Lagoa Misteriosa has maintained an ISO 21101-certified Safety Management System, with annual audits. Specialist guides, trained instructors and preparation before entering the water support every discovery.
The mystery lies in the depths — never in the operation.There is more to experience here
