About Nichupté Lagoon

Behind the boulevard, the scenery swaps waves for the channels of Nichupté. The mangrove helps keep the waters and the neighboring reefs in balance; crocodiles live here too. Observe with a guide, stay in the boat and do not enter the water.

A kayak paddle lets you take in roots, reflections and sounds with care. Confirm the departure, life jacket and weather conditions; spotting animals depends on nature. Ask for the full address of the departure point, since the lagoon system has several starting points.
