Rurrenabaque Town & Río Beni
Rurrenabaque / Río Beni
A rainforest gateway town on the Beni River, with a riverside avenue, a central square and a cluster of tour agencies; at sunset you can watch ferries crossing between the banks.
The town is squeezed between hills and the Beni River. Along the river runs Avenida Costanera, lined with restaurants, bars and boat docks. Small ferries to San Buenaventura on the opposite bank run every few minutes, and the new bridge can also be crossed on foot. Around the central square are tour agencies and guesthouses, where you can book rainforest and pampas tours. Try local fish dishes and tropical fruit juices. The weather is hot and humid with plenty of mosquitoes, so keep an eye on your belongings at night.
