Sights & Activities
Though there isn't really that much to do in town, Rurrenabaque's appeal is in its sur-
rounding natural beauty. It's easy to pass a day or three here while waiting to join a tour.
Behind town is a low but steep
mirador
(lookout) that affords a view across the seemingly
endless Beni lowlands; it's reached by climbing up the track at the southern end of
BolĂvar.
Butterfly Pool El Mirador
Near the
mirador
it is named after, this is a fabulous spot where you can swim and swoon
over gobsmacking views of the Beni lowlands.
SWIMMING
Hotel El Ambaibo Swimming Pool
(nonguest B$20)
If you prefer a tiled, chlorinated pool, try the Olympic-sized
piscina
at
Hotel El Ambaibo on Santa Cruz.
SWIMMING
El Chorro
El Chorro, an idyllic waterfall and pool 1km upstream, makes for a pleasant excursion. On
a rock roughly opposite El Chorro is an ancient
serpentine engraving
, which was inten-
ded as a warning to travelers: whenever the water reached serpent level, the Beni was con-
sidered unnavigable. You can only reach it by boat so inquire at the harbor and strike a
deal.
