Surface snorkeling in crystal clear waters, hiking among fantastic
waterfalls. Highly recomended for those who were at Pantanal, because
it's not so far from there and is a fantastic spot to see fish during
a surface snorkeling tour or a hiking tour with lots of waterfalls.
Pictures: The Aquidaban Waterfall and surface snorkeling departure.
