Rio Benevente is a river flowing through the coastal lowlands of Espírito Santo, Brazil, draining into the Atlantic along one of the most ecologically rich stretches of the Brazilian coast. The river passes through a landscape shaped by the Atlantic Forest biome — a globally recognized biodiversity hotspot — and transitions from freshwater reaches in its upper and middle sections to a dynamic estuarine environment near its mouth. This estuary is where the river's character shifts dramatically, mixing tidal saltwater influence with freshwater flow to create a highly productive fishing environment. The Benevente basin has been the subject of ichthyological study, with a published illustrated guide to the fish of the rio Benevente basin documenting the remarkable diversity of species present across its freshwater and estuarine zones. The river's proximity to the coastal town of Anchieta and the surrounding region makes it accessible to both local anglers and visiting fishermen looking to experience one of Espírito Santo's most productive coastal river systems.
