Paddling near Mâncio Lima, Acre

Mâncio Lima sits deep in the Amazon rainforest in northwestern Acre, Brazil's westernmost municipality and the northernmost in the state. The town lies in the Juruá river valley, and paddlers here have access to the calm, dark waters of Igarapé Preto as well as the broader Rio Juruá. Much of the surrounding land falls within or borders Serra do Divisor National Park, giving the waterways a remote, jungle-framed character.
