Paddling near Tarauacá, Acre

Tarauacá sits in the far west of Acre, deep in the Brazilian Amazon, on the banks of the Rio Tarauacá. The river is the defining water here — a broad, slow-moving Amazonian river that winds through dense rainforest and várzea floodplain. Paddling this stretch means flatwater travel through one of the most remote river environments in South America, with the Rio Envira also accessible in the region.
