Rurrenabaque is a small and colorful Amazonian town on the far eastern spur of the Andes. From there you may want to travel north to the savannahs of Pampas from Yacuma where wildlife abounds, or explore to the south, up the Beni river where Pilon Lajas Biosphere Reserve and Madidi National Park are set.
In any case this trip is not for the faint-hearted! Several hours by 4WD on bumpy roads to the Yacuma river, or by dugout canoe up the Beni and Quiquibey or Tuichi rivers is an adventure in itself and worth the effort, for the show begins long before you get to your lodge. Depending on the option chosen the scenery varies and wildlife viewing opportunities are different but always stunning. Guaranteed!
