Visit El Beni Department
Trinidad
The El Beni Department of Bolivia is an area of breathtaking natural beauty. Located in the northeast part of the country, the region encompasses dense Amazonian rainforest and vast wetlands where many rare species can be found. It is a popular destination for tourists seeking to explore its unique ecosystems and get a glimpse of its vibrant local culture.
One must-see spot in El Beni is Rurrenabaque, known as one of the top outdoor adventure destinations in South America. Here visitors can take part in activities such as river rafting, fishing for piranhas or exploring indigenous villages along jungle paths.
Another tourist destination worth visiting is San Jose de Chiquitos, home to numerous ancient Jesuit churches built by missionaries between 1750 and 1850 which have been declared UNESCO World Heritage Sites due to their remarkable architecture and historical significance.
El Beni has an interesting history too: it was once ruled by Inca warriors during the 15th century who managed to keep this region relatively isolated from Spanish rule until 1810 when they were finally defeated by Simon Bolivar's forces during the Latin American wars of independence. This makes it an important place for people interested in Latin American history and culture.
