Jardim, a city close to Bonito, is full of rivers, waterfalls, caves, trail, a large variety of animals and the best: scuba diving! According to Brazilian Magazine Mergulho, the city is an option for those who have a small number of days for relaxing and do not want to spend so much money.
The best option is getting a car at Campo Grande and, from the capital, travel to Jardim by car. Only the route is a great attraction, because during the travel, you can see many animals, especially birds. For the photographers, it is amazing! However, the driver must be careful, mainly at night, because the animals can cross the road.
