Paddling near Rio Branco, Acre


Rio Branco, the capital of Acre in Brazil's western Amazon, sits directly on the Rio Acre — a meandering Amazonian river that forms the city's defining waterway. The surrounding landscape of dense rainforest and tributary igarapés creates a distinctly Amazonian paddling environment, with flatwater conditions typical of the lowland Amazon basin.
