Anhumas Abyss

Photographic Expedition with Renato Machado

DECEMBER/2024

A little about this wonderful destination.

Located 23km from the center of Bonito-MS, Abismo Anhumas is an impressive place. Looking from above, you cannot imagine that a small crack in the floor opens up space to the immensity of the cave. After descending using an electric rappel, you take a boat ride across an immense lake with crystal clear water.

Another destination on our wonderful photo tour is Buraco das Araras in Jardins. Buraco das Araras is a huge sandstone crater, a geological formation created by the collapse of boulders. It is approximately 500 m in circumference and 100 m deep, located in the middle of the savannah in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul in Brazil.

This is where the great adventure happens. The Abismo Anhumas Expedition is dedicated to nature lovers, whether photographers or not.

Be my guest and come and photograph the beauties of Abismo Anhumas
