About Rurrenabaque

Rurrenabaque is a gateway town to some of Bolivia’s most spectacular natural wonders, nestled on the edge of the Amazon rainforest and the pampas wetlands. It offers a unique blend of adventure and nature, attracting travelers eager to explore pristine jungle ecosystems and rich biodiversity. The town itself is small and charming, with a relaxed atmosphere that contrasts with the wild landscapes surrounding it. Visitors come here primarily to embark on tours into Madidi National Park, one of the most biologically diverse protected areas in the world, or to explore the nearby pampas, home to pink river dolphins, caimans, and capybaras. The combination of jungle and savannah environments makes Rurrenabaque a compelling destination for eco-tourists, bird watchers, and adventure seekers. Its accessibility from La Paz by air or road, despite the latter’s challenges, makes it a popular starting point for immersive nature experiences in Bolivia.

Travel Tips

The best time to visit is during the dry season (May to October) for easier travel and better wildlife viewing. Pack lightweight, breathable clothing, insect repellent, sun protection, and waterproof gear. Respect local customs and dress modestly in town. Stay hydrated and use bottled water. Safety is generally good but take precautions against tropical diseases and follow guides’ advice in the jungle. Cash is preferred as card acceptance is limited; ATMs may be scarce.
