Paddling near Barcarena, Pará

Barcarena sits in Pará state at the confluence of Amazonian tidal rivers and igarapés, where paddlers move through dense várzea forest on waters shaped by the Amazon's tidal pulse. The Rio Moju, Igarapé Tucumandeua, and a network of smaller igarapés close to town are the main draws for kayakers and canoeists exploring this corner of the estuary.
