Guayaramerín
3 / POP 40,450 / ELEV 130M (426FT)
Knocking on Brazil's back door, Guayaramerín is twinned with the Brazilian town of
Guajará-Mirim on the other side of the Río Mamoré. This lively town thrives on all kinds
of trade (legal and illegal) with Brazil, and its streets are full of dusty motorcycle tracks
and markets heaving with synthetic garments. It is now the northern terminus for river
transportation along the Río Mamoré.
