Getting around

For getting around town you'll probably want to make use of the rattling mototaxis; alternatively, motorbikes can be rented – try the shop near the Ferretería Union (block 2 of Raymondi), or the one at Yavari 702. Expect to pay around $2.50 an hour or $15 for twelve hours (you'll need to show your passport and licence). Remember to check the brakes before leaving. If you want to get onto the river itself, canoes can be rented from the port at Bellavista.
