Paddling near Itabuna, Bahia

Itabuna sits in the Sul Baiano region of Bahia, crossed by the Rio Cachoeira and surrounded by a dense network of rivers and ribeirões draining the Atlantic Forest interior. The area's paddling is river-based — flatwater stretches on tributaries such as the Rio de Contas and Rio Tijuípe draw kayakers and canoeists into forested corridors typical of southern Bahia.
