Nobres
Nobres (Noble) – word that can mean magnanimous or sublime – this name was not given by accident. The natural beauty found in the area can make anyone feel simply amazed. Only 120 km from Cuiaba (Mato Grosso`s capital), Nobre is small town, but the ecotourism away from the urban area is magnificent.
In Nobre, you can freshen up in the natural, blue water aquariums with colorful fish, swim in the crystalline water wells found within the rivers, grottos and caves, delight yourself in waterfalls, walk or ride through the woods to see beautiful species of plants and animals, have an adventure with zip-lines, rapids and diving spots and also be allured with the cave paintings of archaeological sites.
One of the must-see places is Recanto Ecológico da Lagoa Azul.(Ecology Resort of the Blue Lagoon). There, you can swim and practice snorkeling in the Aquário Encantado (Charming Aquarium), a place of blue water, white sand and an impressive variety of fish, all hidden in the woodland. Other beautiful places to float around are the rivers Triste and Salobra, with crystal waters full of fish and small rays. To practice scuba diving, you can go to places such as Lagoa Pai João (Pai Joào lagoon), o Poço Dois de Maio (May the 2nd Pool) e a Caverna do Currupira (Curripira cave).
Among the waterfalls, the beautiful Serra Azul is a must-see. You can also go to the Cachoeira do Tombador (Tombador waterfall), to pass the ancient tracks of the troops who used to cross to the Amazon and to Bolivia, and the Cachoeira do Bananal (Bananal waterfall), spanning six kilometres of the land. But if you want more adventure, take a tour through the Duto do Quebó, a stream in a dark grotto full of bats.
At the end of the day, the Lagoa das Araras invites you to the contemplation of maritacas, parrots and macaws that return to their nests at sunset, forming a colorful and beautiful view.
Nobre is a spectacle of nature hidden in the central region of Brazil. A place for adventurers to have the natural beauty take their breath away.
