💡 Free public WiFi sometimes works here if you sit near the fountain. The ice cream vendor on the east corner sells cone for 2 bolivianos.
💡 Thursday and Sunday evenings around 6pm, a man sells grilled corn on the cob with queso from a cart near the bandstand. For 2 bolivianos it's the best snack in town.

💡 Try the fried river fish (surubí) from the lady at the blue stall—costs about 10 bolivianos. Bring small change.
💡 Go at 5pm when the sun drops behind the Pantanal and the water turns copper. The stairs are uneven so watch your footing.
💡 Trains stopped running in 2018, but you can walk along the tracks for about 500m towards the river. Watch for loose sleepers underfoot.
💡 The curator speaks some Portuguese and will show you the photo of the 1950s flood if you ask. Donations are welcome but not enforced.
