The Snorkelling tour is made on the river source of the Rio Sucuri; it begins at 1.500m from the reception house to the point where the trek starts. The trek is made for 400m inside the forest having the opportunity to see the principal river sources that appear on the way to the platform allowed to get into the water and to go down the river for 1.800m.
The visitor will have the opportunity to see some fishes, animals and a lot of subaquatic vegetation. The tour has a support boat during the whole way through the river, so it is possible to enjoy it from outside the water.
The activity ends until the Rio Sucuri finds the Rio Formoso; at that point the visitors return to the reception house.
What is fluctuation?
The activity is done over the water, as if you were floating on your stomach.
There is no need to know how to swim, the activity is performed with a lifejacket that assists in floatation. The stream of rivers is slowly leading visitors along the route, always accompanied by a support boat.
Before you begin, you will undergo a training that will be carried out in pools in the same attraction for the adaptation of the snorkel (mask used for breathing during the activity).
Contrary to what many people think, the Rio Sucuri was named after sucuri snakes in its waters, but because on seeing the river from above, it has the shape of a sucuri snake.
As the vegetation along the banks of the Rio Sucuri is more "open" the solar incidence is greater, increasing transparency.
The Rio Sucuri has entered for several times in the lists of clearest waters in the world, and this is already a great reason to live this experience.
