Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Praia do Bosque: Dry Season and Beach Season

During the dry season, the water level of the river at Praia do Bosque drops. Sandbanks then form along the shore, allowing beachgoers and water sports enthusiasts to enjoy activities. This makes the season a specific consideration when planning a visit to the riverbank: the dry season is associated with the sandbanks that make these activities possible. If you are interested in water activities, you can take this seasonal character into account when choosing what to visit.

In 2023, Praia do Bosque hosted the beach season described as the largest in the region. The season included performances by national and regional artists. These are two distinct aspects: the sandbanks are associated with the dry season, while the artists’ performances took place during the 2023 event season. If you are considering both beach activities and cultural events, you can keep these different time references in mind.

Parque Águas Quentes: Thermal and Swimming Pools

Parque Águas Quentes is located within the urban area of Barra do Garças. It has thermal water pools with various therapeutic properties, as well as other swimming pools for the whole family. The difference from Praia do Bosque lies in the focus described: here, the pools are the main attraction; there, activities at the seasonal sandbanks take center stage. This comparison may help you choose according to your interests if you are deciding between pools and activities along the riverbank. Check current visitor information before your visit.

Parque Estadual da Serra Azul: Terrain and Accessibility

Parque Estadual da Serra Azul has steep terrain, stairs, steep paths, and waterfall areas. These features limit full accessibility to its attractions. Take this limitation into account when planning your visit, and check the park’s current information beforehand. This allows you to consider the landscape alongside the specific terrain and accessibility features.

Porto do Baé: A Local History

Porto do Baé was established around 1946 and is associated with a local resident known by the nickname “Baé,” who raised pigs in the region. The story thus connects an approximate date of origin with a person associated with the place through his nickname and occupation. For travelers interested in local history as well as water and landscape attractions, this connection offers another perspective on Barra do Garças.
