Paddling near Nossa Senhora do Socorro, Sergipe

Nossa Senhora do Socorro sits in the greater Aracaju metropolitan area of Sergipe, flanked by river systems that define paddling in the region. The Rio Poxim-Açu runs close to the city, and the broader network of Sergipe's rivers — including the Rio Santa Maria and, farther out, the Rio São Francisco — gives paddlers access to calm freshwater routes through northeastern Brazil's coastal lowlands.
