Botafogo beach

Imagine a sunny day in Puerto Maldonado. It is summertime and there are sand beaches along the Tambopata River. Only one place comes to your mind: Botafogo. It is the largest beach on the outskirts of the city, and there is Ronald, the host, with good food and lots of fun. You have to follow the Tambopata Corridor for about 25 minutes and then take a 5 minute trail crossing the Botafogo farm to get to this 3 km long beach that brings together families and friends.

In addition to the long beach that is formed during the dry season, there are camping areas and tables, chairs and hammocks for resting, many of which overlook the river. During the weekends, Botafogo offers a regional cuisine restaurant and a bar. Next to this area we find the soccer fields and other sport areas, including a volleyball field. 

Botafogo is a place where you can do a lot or nothing. It depends on whether you are looking for fun or just relaxation. For nature lovers, it is possible to walk along a trail in the forest where it is possible to see wildlife species. You can also take a boat ride or go fishing. This is a place to relax and have fun, and there are also who come and practice their favorite sports.

One of the biggest attractions of Botafogo is the beauty contest "Miss Botafogo beach", which is held every year with the support of sponsors and judges who evaluate participants, among which, after several weekends modeling, the winner is chosen. All of this creates a great atmosphere of fun shared among friends and family that characterizes this beach, which is a great place to enjoy the time off.
