Fish Fauna Museum Tour in Beni

At the scheduled time, we'll pick you up from your hotel and drive to the outskirts of the city, specifically to the Campus of the Autonomous University of Beni in Trinidad.

Upon arrival at the Fish Fauna Museum, you will find an important collection of fish species from the Amazonian rivers and the lagoons of the Moxeño plains. You will learn about endemic species that inhabit the Ibare, Mamoré, Madre de Dios and Madera Rivers, all tributaries of the Amazon River.

The museum features 446 different species of fish classified by characteristics such as weight, with some specimens weighing up to 330 pounds (150 kilograms).

Among the species on display is the pacu, from the piranha family, also known as the testicle-biting fish. Additional species include the surubí and the shoefish, along with a specimen of the bufeo, which is a freshwater dolphin.

After visiting the museum, we will return you to your hotel in Trinidad, approximately 1 hour after pickup.
