The Río Manupare is a river in Bolivia , right tributary of the Bolivian Río Madre de Dios , and belongs to the river system of the Amazon .
course
The Río Manupare is a black water river and has its origins about 50 kilometers east of the Bolivian border with Peru and 25 kilometers east of the northern foothills of the Madidi National Park . From its source region, it flows three quarters of its way in a north-easterly direction, before turning north about 100 km before its confluence with the Río Madre de Dios . The catchment area of the Manupare extends between the Río Madre de Dios in the northwest and the Río Asunta in the west on the one hand and the Río Madidi in the southeast and the Río Beni in the northeast.
The river flows through the province of Franz Tamayo and the province of Abel Iturralde in the department of La Paz for the first 300 kilometers , the remaining 160 kilometers through the province of Madre de Dios in the department of Pando .
Due to its low gradient of only 54 meters to 460 km meanders of the river very strong and changed so again its course and its length, especially when touching two adjacent loops, the water takes the resulting shortcut and so Backwater remain that to silt up over time. Since the entire course of the river runs through tropical rainforest and has not yet been developed for traffic, its catchment area is almost deserted. Studies from 2010 assume around 700 families with 3,500 people. The only way to develop the region is by water, and there are also a few landing strips for small planes.
