Paddling near Açu, Rio Grande do Norte

Açu is a municipality in the semi-arid interior of Rio Grande do Norte, about 190 km from the state capital Natal. The area's paddling centers on the Açude Armando Ribeiro Gonçalves, a large reservoir close to the city, and the Rio Açu Grande, both of which draw kayakers and stand-up paddleboarders to calm, flatwater conditions typical of the region's inland waters.
