Kayak on Três Forquilhas River

Embark on this kayak tour along the Três Forquilhas River, and take an opportunity to immerse yourself in the diverse wildlife and flora surrounding its shores.

Description

At the designated time, we'll meet at Sítio Lima e Silva to begin our kayak tour along the Três Forquilhas River. Our first stop will be the Chapéau River, where we will organize our kayaking equipment. This starting point was once a steamboat harbor constructed in the 1920s.

We will navigate through narrow canals to reach the Três Forquilhas River, named for the confluence of the Chapéu and Maior rivers, resembling forks in the landscape. The Três Forquilhas River is the primary tributary to the Itapeva Lagoon, one of the largest in Rio Grande do Sul.

During the tour, we will kayak along a 5.5-kilometer (3.4 miles) stretch of riverbed, observing the flora of the Atlantic Forest. Weather permitting, we'll take a brief stop for a refreshing swim.

After 3 hours, we will conclude the tour at the BR 101 road in Três Forquilhas, returning our kayaks as we part ways.

Return transfer

A transfer back to the starting point can be arranged after the kayak tour for a fee of 7BRL per person, payable on the day of the activity.
