BIKING ON THE DEATH ROAD Full Day

Biking on the Death Road (Full Day)

Departure at 7:30 am from meeting point in downtown to the most exciting biking experience ever. By car, transfer to “La Cumbre” around 4.700 m.a.s.l. from here we begin the descent by a professional bike a twisting road among mountain peaks and tiny villages. Stop for refreshments and a rest along the way, all the better to give us time to take in the scenery: towering cliff faces and ever greener vegetation. 

After a snack we ride on, descending in altitude even further, and after a brief undulating section of road we enter the jungle itself and the most challenging part of the ride. This infamous narrow dirt road known as Death Road, is cut precariously into the side of the mountain and descends 2,000m in altitude. With 1,000m+ of vertigo inducing sheer drops off to our left and hulking rock overhangs and cascading waterfalls to our right, we ride on, through mist, low cloud and dust. There is no downhill ride like this in the world!

As we near the end of the ride it gets progressively hotter and dustier. By the time you arrive at the bottom of Death Road in Yolosa village at an altitude of 1,200m, you will be hot, dirty and exhilarated; having conquered the extreme Death Road with no fear. Just below the village of Yolosa we head to a restaurant to enjoy a buffet lunch. Later, return to the city of La Paz by car along the new road. (For about 3 hours).
