词条 | Beni River |
释义 | Beni River river, Bolivia Spanish Río Beni river in Bolivia, formed by many confluents arising in the north sector of the Cordillera Real north of La Paz, the country's administrative capital. It flows northeast through the densely forested Yungas, or northeastern Andean slopes, and plains. It is joined by the Madre de Dios River at Riberalta and flows on to its junction with the Mamoré River at Villa Bella, on the Brazilian border, after a course of 1,000 miles (1,600 km). The Beni and the Mamoré form the Madeira River, which constitutes the extreme northeastern border of Bolivia. Steam navigation is possible on the Beni during high water (December to May) between Rurrenabaque, at the base of the Andes, and the Esperanza rapids near its junction with the Mamoré River, as well as into the upper Amazonian plain. |
