Paddling near Sousa, Paraíba

Sousa sits in the sertão of western Paraíba, a semi-arid region where paddling revolves around the açudes — large reservoirs built to store water through the dry season. Açude São Gonçalo, the closest major reservoir, and Açude Engenheiro Ávidos (Piranhas) are the most accessible flatwater destinations near the city, while the larger Açude Coremas (Engenheiro Estevam Marinho) draws paddlers from across the region.
