Shopping in The Amazon Basin

  1. Centro Artesanal Moxos

    Local Beni crafts, including weavings, woodwork and ceramics, are sold at the Centro Artesanal Moxos, southwest of town. Look out for the pifano, an indigenous flute made from the wing bone of the Jabiru stork using a technique over 1000 years old – it’s the staple instrument of the unique Moxos music.
