The Rio Vila Nova, also known as the Anauerapucu, is a waterway flowing through the northern Brazilian state of Amapá, near the border with French Guiana. It traverses a landscape of tropical rainforest, offering a paddling experience deeply immersed in a remote and natural environment. The river flows through the municipality of Mazagão and is closely associated with the district of Anauerapucu, which is located on its northern shore within the municipality of Santana. One documented paddling route, specifically for kayak or canoe, covers a distance of approximately 50 kilometers with a modest elevation gain, suggesting a generally flat-water character suitable for extended trips. The region's cultural significance is highlighted by its connection to events like the Círio, a major religious festival in nearby Macapá, which may influence local activity on or near the water. The river's setting within the Amazonian biome implies rich wildlife and dense vegetation along its banks. The overall character of a paddle on the Rio Vila Nova is one of exploration through a vast, pristine rainforest corridor.
