Bolivia’s Gateway To The Amazon

A little-known gem of the Amazon rainforest, Rurrenabaque is found on the southernmost edge of the Amazon rainforest in
Bolivia. Known as “Rurre” for short, this town champions ecotourism and sustainability in the Bolivian Amazon and is
known as an eco-tourism epicenter.

Picturesquely located on a broad sweep of the Río Beni, between the last forest-covered foothills of the Andes and the
great lowland plains, Rurrenabaque is close to some of the best-preserved and most accessible wilderness areas in the
region, including the spectacular rainforests of Parque Nacional Madidi and the Reserva de Biosfera y Territorio Indígena
Pilon Lajas, as well as the wildlife-rich pampas along the Río Yacuma. The Pampas wetlands in Bolivia provide an incredible
location to see the wildlife of the Amazon.
