Paddling near Vitória, Espírito Santo

Vitória sits on an island in Espírito Santo, surrounded by a bay, mangroves, and river mouths that make the city one of the more varied paddling environments on Brazil's southeastern coast. Guided Hawaiian canoe tours explore the islands and beaches accessible only by water, while the rivers draining into the bay — including the Rio Santa Maria da Vitória and Rio Jucu — extend the options inland.
