BIGGEST CANOPY IN BOLIVIA
Community-run projects are well worthy of support as the profits go directly to the people who deserve them. A
series of tranquilo (tranquil) community-run tourism projects operate in Parque Nacional Madidi but if you need
more adrenaline, then try the unambiguously named Biggest Canopy in Bolivia. It's a forest canopy zipline in
Villa Alcira, outside Rurrenabaque, which is aimed at those with a head for heights, a strong stomach and a need
for speed. Book at the office in Rurre; the price includes transportation.

Sleeping
The sleeping scene in Rurrenabaque is ruled by one thing: the hammock. The sagging
sack can be the sole factor in deciding whether a business does well here or not, so expect
hammocks and enjoy the mandatory laziness.

the Oriental, right on the plaza, they'll invariably be raving about what an excellent place

big breakfasts are included in the price.
