Paddling near Naviraí, Mato Grosso do Sul

Naviraí sits in the southwest of Mato Grosso do Sul, a state defined by its river systems and wetland corridors. The area around the city draws paddlers to its rivers, with the Rio Amambai among the waters associated with the region and the broader Ivinhema and Verde river basins within reach. Flatwater paddling on calm stretches of these rivers suits kayaks, canoes, and SUP boards alike, and the riparian forest lining the banks makes for rewarding time on the water.
