Rurrenabaque is situated on the banks of the Río Beni, approximately 250 miles (400 km) from La Paz. This small Amazonian town is popular for its proximity to the Bolivian Amazon and the pampas of Madidi National Park. The original people of the area, the Tacana, were one of the few lowland tribes that resisted Christianity and Western-style civilization.
The town (called Rurre for local people) remains small with just a few attractions, but is surrounded by lush hills and fully equipped to serve as a base for travelers heading out to the Amazon.
Rurrenaque has a relaxed atmosphere makes it the perfect place to unwind after returning from a jungle tour or wildlife – viewing excursion. Rurrenabaque is particularly appreciated among wildlife lovers: the town is located at the confluence of the Andes, the Amazon, and the wetlands, producing a unique mix of flora and fauna found nowhere else on earth.
