Paddling near Senador Guiomard, Acre

Senador Guiomard sits in Acre, in the far western Amazon, where the surrounding landscape is laced with Amazonian rivers and igarapés. The Rio Acre, roughly 8 km from the city, is the marquee waterway for local paddlers, while a network of smaller igarapés — including the Igarapé São Francisco — extends the possibilities for canoe and kayak exploration through dense rainforest.
