About this tour

Our tour starts around 08:00 am. leaving the hotel in a 4x4 vehicle bound for the town of Cardosa. The trip to this small town lasts about 1 hour, which is offset by the fun we will have when we reach our destination.

Once we arrive in Cardosa, we will prepare to begin this incredible experience. With the help of the buoys, we are going to float on the beautiful River Formiga. The river has a very weak current that will take us down, so no effort is needed other than to relax.
< span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">
The journey lasts about 50 minutes, in which we will feel part of the river. There are guides to help those who need it during the whole process, but the walk is safe and recommended for all ages, because the current is really calm.

It will also be a great opportunity to observe the rich vegetation around the river in an exceptional way.

After the descent, around 12:30 we return to Barreirinhas again, where the tour ends.

Ein unvergessliches Naturerlebnis in Brasilien

War mega happy mit der Tour! Das Schwimmen im Formiga-Fluss war einfach ein Traum. Die Guides waren super freundlich und die Landschaft war einfach atemberaubend. Kann's jedem, der Brasilien besucht, nur wärmstens empfehlen.
