Local Beni crafts, including weaving, woodwork and masks, are sold at the Centro Artesanal Moxos, 300m southwest of town by the cemetery. Look out for the pifano, an indigenous flute made from the wing bone of the jabiru stork using a technique more than 1000 years old – it’s the staple instrument of the unique Moxos music.
