San Borja sits on the far southwestern edge of the Llanos de Moxos. San Borja straddles the transition zone from flat mosaics of floodplains and forest islands, to Southwestern Amazonian Rainforest. San Borja's orography is generally homogenous and flat.
San Borja has a tropical monsoon climate, type (Am) in the Köppen classification system bordering on a tropical rainforest climate. Rain is plentiful but divided between a distinct wet and dry season. Like many areas in Bolivia and Latin America generally, San Borja is subject to considerable fluctuations in seasonal and annual precipitation, particularly as a consequence of climate-change related anomalies.
