Fish Fauna Museum Tour in Beni
At the scheduled time, we will pick you up from your hotel and drive to the outskirts of the city to the Campus of the Autonomous University of Beni in Trinidad.
Upon arrival at the Fish Fauna Museum, you will find an extensive collection of fish species from the Amazonian rivers and the lagoons of the Moxeño plains.
As we explore, we will learn about the endemic species found in the Ibare, Mamoré, Madre de Dios, and Madera Rivers, all tributaries of the Amazon River.
The museum features 446 different species of fish, categorized by characteristics such as weight, with some weighing up to 330 pounds (150 kilograms).
Among the species, you will see the pacu, from the piranha family, commonly referred to as the testicle-biting fish. The story behind its nickname is noteworthy.
Other fish featured in the guided tour include the surubí or shoefish, as well as a specimen of the bufeo, a freshwater dolphin.
After visiting the museum, we will return you to your hotel in Trinidad, completing the tour 1 hour after pickup.
