    Museu da Estrada de Ferro Madeira-Mamoré

    The city’s only real sight of interest, the Museu da Estrada de Ferro Madeira-Mamoré was undergoing a major renovation at the time of research. A massive complex, it occupies several huge sheds that made up the original train station, and boasts an extensive collection of artifacts and memorabilia related to the infamous Madeira-Mamoré railway, including the US-built ‘Colonel Church, ’ the first locomotive to run in Amazonia.
