Paddling near Porto Grande, Amapá

Porto Grande sits in the interior of Amapá, in Brazil's far north, where the Rio Araguari runs close to town and a network of Amazonian rivers fans out across the surrounding lowlands. Flatwater paddling on these wide, forest-lined rivers is the defining experience here, with the Rio Araguari, Rio Cupixi, Rio Tartarugal Grande, and Rio Vila Nova ou Anauerapucu all within reach of the municipality.
