It's excellent for water activities as it lies on the banks of the Paranacito River, in an area where by navigating short distances one can access an interesting network of streams and canals. This allows for excursions and the discovery of different environments. There are tourism providers offering boat rides, and along the river there are plenty of campgrounds and cabins with boat ramps.

Moreover, this opportunity to take boat trips provides the chance to explore and observe the local native wildlife, especially aquatic birds. It's very common to see the three species of kingfisher (green kingfisher, Amazon kingfisher and ringed kigfisher), as well as various types of herons, ibises, and ducks.
