Paddling near Barra do Garças, Mato Grosso


Barra do Garças sits at the confluence of the Rio Araguaia and Rio das Garças in eastern Mato Grosso, a setting that puts flatwater paddling right at the city's edge. The Araguaia is the marquee water here — wide, relatively calm, and navigable by kayak, canoe, and SUP. Local operators run guided trips on both rivers, including moonlit kayak descents and stand-up paddle sessions departing from Porto do Baé.
