Paddling near Timon, Maranhão

Timon sits on the eastern bank of the Rio Parnaíba in Maranhão, directly across from Teresina, Piauí. The Parnaíba is the dominant water here — a broad, navigable river that draws canoeists and kayakers along its current through the cerrado-transition landscape. The nearby Rio Poti, which meets the Parnaíba close to the twin cities, adds a secondary paddling corridor for those exploring the confluence zone.
