Nice hike and stunning view of the canyon. We made the mistake of going early afternoon and didn't see many birds. Go in the morning or late afternoon. Also wear mosquito repellent because there are a ton of mosquitoes.

Good place, beautiful, we saw many araras, but very far away. We saw much more closer araras next to the road than we used motorbike.

We saw several araras. The place is very nice. Go there when you go to "Rio da Prata", both are nearby. We loved it!

Not only did we see araras, we also saw armadillos and some strange black cricket. We saw lots of lizards and other pretty birds. I do not recommend going half way through the day when the sun is hot as the birds are not very active in the heat. It's a worthwhile add on if you going to rio da... More

I love it! It's the most amazing place for me in the whole Bonito. To see flying parrots is amazing, to see them flying together it's even more. A must see to all nature lovers. Can be combined with Rio do Prata. tip: get there as early as possible in order to get the best views. parrots don't like to... More

Amazing to see the red macaws from above. We were there in breeding season so there were a lot of active couples, beautiful!

One of the most beautiful things I have ever seen in my whole life. The best time to see the colorful birds is right before sundown (by 5PM). The chasm and crevices where the birds live is something out of this world and watching them fly back and forth is so beautiful to the point of being surreal. I was... More

This dolina more than one hundred meters in diameter and another hundred meters deep, full of tropical vegetation and a lagoon in the bottom, the feeling of being in a mysterious place. You can be lucky enough to see the beautiful macaws. We recommend you go early in the morning.
