Paddling near Calçoene, Amapá

Calçoene sits in far northern Amapá, a state defined by Amazonian rivers, igarapés, and Atlantic-influenced coastline. The Rio Calçoene runs through the municipality, and the surrounding landscape includes protected areas such as the Parque Nacional do Cabo Orange and the Reserva Biológica do Lago Piratuba. Paddlers here move through a network of rivers and narrow igarapés in a remote, largely wild setting.
