Ceita Corê, Bonito MS: waterfalls and a zipline on a hill farm

Ceita Corê is a farm in the hills near Bonito with a waterfall trail, swimming pools and a zipline across the valley. It combines the contemplative side of a waterfall outing with a component of adventure in the same visit.

What Ceita Corê is

Ceita Corê is a rural property in the hill country around Bonito, with a trail past waterfalls and swimming pools formed by the river that crosses the farm. What sets it apart from the other waterfall outings in the region is the zipline, which crosses the valley and adds an adventure element to the day.

The terrain is hilly and you feel it: there are climbs and descents, and the route asks for moderate fitness. In exchange the landscape has relief, which is what flat river outings lack.

What changes on a hill trail

A hill trail is not a flat trail with a climb in the middle: it is continuous up and down, with uneven ground and roots. The body tires differently — less from distance, more from elevation change — and knees feel the descent more than the climb.

In exchange, the relief delivers what a flat river cannot: viewpoints, vegetation that changes with altitude and waterfalls with genuine free fall rather than shallow rapids.

The zipline, for a first-timer

The crossing is short in time — seconds — and operated by the team: you control neither speed nor braking. The equipment is checked before every crossing, and the instructions come down to the position of your body and hands.

Any discomfort comes from the departure platform, not the flight. People who fear heights suffer more waiting than crossing, which is why the team often suggests they do not go last in the queue.

What to bring

• Closed trainers with good soles that can get wet.
• Swimwear underneath and a dry change for the return.
• Water: on a hill, dehydration arrives before tiredness.
• Sunscreen and repellent applied before you start the trail.
• Nothing in your hands: the zipline and the steep sections need both free.

When to go

From December to March the falls are fuller and the heat favours swimming, but the hill trail demands more care. From May to September the ground is firm, the mornings cold and the water clearer. As with every waterfall outing in the region, the choice is between water volume and walking comfort.

Frequently asked questions

Is the zipline always included?

Not always: with several operators it is booked separately. Check first, because it is the main thing that sets the place apart.

Does it take the whole day?

It depends on the option. With the zipline and lunch it tends to fill the day; the trail alone usually fits into half.
