Rurrenabaque
In a restaurant Rurrenabaque is a little tropical town, really tranquil, and is totally different from the Altiplano high mountain area of La Paz.
Cars are not common here, and people usually travel by 2 wheels - bikes or motorbikes.
It lies in Bolivia's amazon basin, and from here people organize pampa and jungle tours to see some nature and wildlife.
The way I got to Rurrenabaque was not unusual - an airplane. What was unusual was it's size - it was definitely the tiniest airplane I've ever flown in - just for 19 passengers.
The airfield in Rurrenabaque was interesting as well, as it was not of concrete but of grass!
In Rurrenabaque, besides the jungle and pampa tours (about which I'll add a separate entry) I've also enjoyed canopy, which is basically an omega from one tree top to the other, at about 40m height. The adrenaline was great, as some of the passes are really fast, and you sometimes can't even see the next platform so you've got no idea where the ride will end.
