Municipal Protected Area Pampas of the Yacuma River

The Pampas of the Yacuma River extends across 616,453 hectares of land, containing flooded savannas, wetlands, forest islands, and gallery forests along the river.

The Municipal Protected Area was established on July 8th, 2007, through Municipal Ordinance 15/2007 to safeguard the natural resources of the Moxos plains.

Nine local communities with approximately 7,000 residents and 172 cattle ranches operate within the protected area, maintaining traditional agricultural practices.

The reserve receives 16,000 annual visitors who access the area through organized tours departing from Rurrenabaque as part of the Madidi National Park circuit.

The area harbors three endangered species found nowhere else: the Beni titi monkey, Olalla titi monkey, and blue-throated macaw.
