So fresh, so clean. Freshwater plants in Aquario Natural, Brazil

With the name ‘Aquário Natural’, you might think this gorgeous capture is from a aquarium, but not quite. Instead, this photo was taken at the source of the Baía Bonita River within the Baía Bonita Ecological Reserve in Bonito, Brazil. Whether you’re a tourist or a local, this place is a must-visit. The crystal-clear water is home to 30 species of fish and exotic underwater fauna, which is perfect for snorkeling. You can swim a 600 metre stretch of the river or get these picturesque views on their glass-bottomed boat ride. While this place isn’t a traditional aquarium, it’ll feel like you’re right inside of a giant one.
