Rio Beni

The Rio Beni is a major river in Bolivia’s Amazon rainforest region, flowing eastward through diverse ecosystems and supporting local communities, agriculture, and wildlife. It plays a crucial role in regional water systems, providing habitat for numerous species and serving as a transportation and resource route for indigenous peoples and farmers. The river’s waters ultimately join the Amazon River, contributing to the vast river system that sustains a rich and diverse environment. Its health is vital for ecological balance, local livelihoods, and regional development.
