Paddling near Cruzeiro do Sul, Acre

Cruzeiro do Sul sits in the far west of Acre, deep in the Amazon, bordered by Peru and bisected by the Rio Juruá and its tributary the Rio Crôa. The city is the second largest in Acre and a base for Amazonian river paddling, with the Rio Crôa and the Igarapé Preto among the local waters drawing kayakers and canoeists into flooded forest and dense riparian jungle.
