Madre de Dios River

The fifth one in Top 9 Longest Rivers in Bolivia that Toplist wants to introduce to you is Madre de Dios River. The Madre de Dios River is a river that runs through Peru and Bolivia. It is named after the Peruvian region through which it flows. On Bolivian territory, it receives the Beni River near Riberalta, which later confluences with the Mamore River to form the Madeira River. The Madeira is an Amazon River tributary.

The Madre de Dios is an important waterway for the Madre de Dios department, particularly Puerto Maldonado, the largest town in the area and the department's capital. Among the many industries on its beaches are mango farming and gold mining. Other important industries provided by the Madre de Dios include selective logging and farming, both of which pose serious environmental challenges. There are several national parks and reserves along the river's length, including Tambopata-Candamo National Park, Man National Park (also known as Man Biosphere Reserve), and Bahuaja-Sonene National Park.

As part of the vast Amazon River watershed, the Madre de Dios serves as the area's largest watershed. The main tributaries of the river are the Chivile, Azul, Blanco, Inambari, Tambopata, and Colorado rivers on the right, and the Los Amigos, Man, and Las Piedras rivers on the left.
