Paddling near Iguatu, Ceará

Iguatu sits in the sertão of south-central Ceará, on the banks of the Rio Jaguaribe. The area's paddling scene revolves around the large açudes — reservoirs built to store water through the dry northeast — with Açude Orós, one of the largest in the state, just 11 km away. Flatwater kayaking, canoeing, and SUP on these calm inland reservoirs are the main draw for local paddlers.
