Paddling near Brasiléia, Acre

Brasiléia sits on the border of Acre state, flanked by the Rio Acre — which runs directly through town — and a network of Amazonian rivers and igarapés stretching into the surrounding forest. Paddling here means slow, warm flatwater on wide tropical rivers, with the Rio Acre as the most accessible put-in for kayakers, canoeists, and SUP riders alike.
