Paddling near Santana, Amapá

Santana sits on the southern edge of Amapá state, nearly on the equator, bordered by the Amazon to the south and laced with Amazonian rivers and igarapés. The area's paddling centers on calm, dark-water channels and broad river systems — including the Rio Vila Nova ou Anauerapucu and the Igarapé do Santana — where flatwater kayaking and canoeing move through flooded forest and equatorial wildlife.
