The Beni River (in Spanish Río Beni) is a
river in the north of
Bolivia. It rises north of
La Paz and flows northeast through the
pampas. One of the tributary rivers is
Tuichi River in the
Madidi National Park. Tuichi River joins the Beni River upstream from the town
Rurrenabaque. South of Rurrenabaque, Río Beni runs through the
rainforest. 30 km before joining the
Mamoré River at the Bolivia-
Brazil border, the rapids of
Cachuela Esperanza interrupt the upstream navigability of the river.
