By boat
[edit]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
[edit]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.
