Paddling near Chapecó, Santa Catarina
Chapecó sits in the far west of Santa Catarina, in a region cut through by tributaries of the Rio Uruguai. The area's paddling identity is shaped by the Rio Chapecó itself, which drew international attention when whitewater kayakers completed its first descent — a demanding run through remote canyon terrain in the Santa Catarina interior.
