Paddling near Laranjal do Jari, Amapá

Laranjal do Jari sits in the far west of Amapá, Brazil, on the banks of the Rio Jari — a powerful Amazonian river that defines the region's paddling character. The area is best known for Cachoeira Santo Antônio do Jari, a dramatic waterfall on the Rio Jari near town, and the surrounding network of rivers and igarapés that cut through dense rainforest. Paddling here means moving through genuine Amazonian wilderness.
