Sights

You can hire a motorbike or jeep to go to the river, which offers good swimming on the opposite bank. Five kilometres from town is Laguna Suárez, with plenty of wildlife. The water is very warm, and near the café with the jetty, where the locals swim, the bathing is safe. Elsewhere there are stingrays and caiman.

Seventeen kilometres north of town is Chuchini, a wildlife sanctuary, with an ecological and archaeological centre, the MadrigueradelTigre, accessible by road in the dry season and by canoe in the wet season. The Museo Arqueológico del Beni, at the site, has human remains, ceramics and stone objects from the pre-Columbian Beni culture, said to be over 5000 years old. Tours to Chuchini can be booked through tour agencies in town .
