We arrived at 12 o‘clock and it seemed nobody is there. But it was open. We saw two guys cleaning the bathrooms and the way. The man in the Souvenir shop told us, its better to come in the morning or in the evening. At midday the birds are not active. Nevertheless we tried the tour at 2 o‘clock pm. It was not possible to go without guide. Our said nothing and show us only the two view points. We had a bit luck and could see with our binocular 15 red green blue Aras sitting in a tree. The doline is impressive. The price is expensive 140 Reales for adult.

Highly recommended place, South America‘ largest sinkhole with a caiman living down there and dozens of Macaw breeding pairs in the walls and on the trees. Very nice tour, competent guide with good English. No need to buy tickets in Bonito because this place belongs to Jardim, not Bonito. We just showed up and got on the next available tour - wait 10 minutes (but off season). In high season maybe better to book tickets online in advance.

Definitely worth the visit. Was given a discount for being a crazy cyclist 😁

We took the tour at 9:40 am and had a english speaking guide for us. We saw a lot of red-blue macows flying through the sinkhole, sitting in the trees and in the walls.

Well worth to visit! We did not have a reservation, just showed up. Did the first tour at 8.00 the next day and we were only the two of us. (It is best in the early morning as the birds are the most active.) Guide spoke good English and could answer all our questions. You get very close to the birds. Costs 75 p/p (68 for pensioner) free coffee and tea, very good free internet, friendly staff. True it is not cheap but the owner of the farm stopped farming and went into conserving the Araras - he builded a very good infrastructure and helps to safe this beatiful birds - so for us it is worth the money.

it is 75 BRL pp now. Crazy prices but it is nice to see - overpriced as pretty much any other touristic attraction in Brazil (or SA in general tho). We were "forced" to go with a guide. At least they said we are not allowed to do it on our own. Ridiculous but well, what can you do...

This place is awesome, especially if you like birds and even if you've already seen a lot before...
Did the private guided photographer bird tour for B$ 170.- pp starting 7.30 am, 4 hours, and saw so many red-and-green macaws, a amazonian motmot and also amardillos... Worth visiting!

Beautiful, very informative and great guide/biologist (Moroni). Well worth it even if you have seen the araras before if you are interested in the facts and we also got great advise for visiting other sites around the area. It is now 65 reales pp. Opens at 7 am. We were there at 7.30 am and had a guide and the buraco just for us and the beautiful araras!

To visit this place you need to drive 120 km (go/back) and pay 65 BRL per person. It is worthy to go in case that you couldn't see any parrots during your trip in Pantanal. For us it was not a good deal because aras in fazendas and pousadas were more present and closer than in Buraco, and for free. Other wise we appreciated to see the big hole (buraco) the second biggest hole in ground after mecican one.

Fantastic. We had a very good bilingual (Portuguese and English) tour, very informative and the tour lasted one hour. Amazing sink hole and plenty of macaws, parakeets and toucans to see. Easy trail of under 1km, also very good, clean facilities.

Great place, professional and well organised. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly guides. We got there around 10:30 which the guide explained was a bit too late because the birds tend to fly-off to look for food at that time. In the June-October nesting season, the best time to go is apparently around 08:00 hrs when the birds are very active around the sink-hole. Cost R58 per person for about an hour.
