The Rio Elvas is a river located in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, flowing in the region near the historic town of Tiradentes. A notable access point for paddlers is the Tiradentes Camping area, which provides a boat ramp and serves as a base for activities on the river. The river's character is suitable for both kayaking and paddle boarding, with one documented paddling route involving a solo trip where the paddler traveled upstream for nearly 2 kilometers using a white water kayak. The surrounding landscape and the proximity to Tiradentes suggest a setting with cultural and historical significance, given the town's status as a well-preserved colonial Portuguese settlement. The river is also noted as a destination for fishing. The presence of a camping area with amenities indicates some basic facilities are available for visitors planning a day on the water or an extended stay. The overall experience appears to blend recreational paddling with the opportunity to explore a region known for its heritage.
