Abismo Anhumas is a spectacular cave located in Bonito-MS, Brazil, one of the largest ecotourism poles in South America. Looking from above, one cannot imagine that a small crack in the ground opens up to the immensity of the cave, which houses a crystal-clear lake with more than 80 meters of depth. To get there, you have to descend by an electric rappel of 72 meters high, an exciting adventure. In the lake, you can take a boat ride, admiring the rocky formations and the stalactites that hang from the ceiling. If you want more adventure, you can choose to snorkel or dive with cylinders - in this option, the “baptism” goes up to 8 meters deep, without the need for certification; certified divers can explore up to 18 meters below the water surface. A trip to the center of the Earth!
