Guayaramerín
Guayaramerín is in the northeastern part of Bolivia.
Understand
Guayaramerín is separated from Brazil by the Mamoré River.
Get in
By taxi
Take a shared taxi from Riberalta. In dry season, you can come as well by shared taxi from Trinidad or San Joaquin (the latter is Bs. 180, 7 hr, may be overnight). The bus (and shared taxi) terminal is out of the town, quite far away.
By plane
Guayaramerín has a small airport serviced by TAM (Transporte Aereo Militar) and Aerocon.
By boat
If you're adventurous and have time, come to Guayaramerín by boat via Mamore river from near Trinidad (3-7 days, depending on the water level; ask in Trinidad) or even Santa Cruz department (Puerto Villaroel).
Get around
The town is small enough to reach most places on foot. Mototaxis (Bs. 4-5) and tuk-tuk (Bs. 10) are available.
Small boats take you on the five minute trip across the river into the Brazilian border town of Guajará-Mirim.
