The things worth doing in Rurrenabaque, from the obvious landmarks to the ones locals actually rate.
Madidi National Park
Nearly 19,000km2 spanning Andes to Amazon, with one of the highest recorded bird counts anywhere on earth.
Pink river dolphins
Bolivian river dolphins surface regularly on the Yacuma pampas. Look, but do not get in and swim with them.
El Mirador viewpoint
A short steep climb above town for the Beni river bending away into flat green forest.
Community tourism projects
Several Madidi lodges are Indigenous-owned, so your money stays local. Ask who owns it before booking.
Birdwatching at dawn
Macaws, toucans and hoatzin are all realistic. Bring binoculars; lodges rarely have enough to lend out.
