Paddling near Araguatins, Tocantins

Araguatins sits on the banks of the Rio Araguaia in the far north of Tocantins, where this broad Amazonian-border river defines the landscape and the paddling. The Araguaia is one of Brazil's great interior rivers — wide, largely flatwater, and lined with sandy beaches that emerge during the dry season. For kayakers, canoeists, and SUP paddlers, it is the primary draw in this part of the state.
