Don’t worry, the safety van follows the group, and there are stops for water, photos, and bike checks.
Point 2: 'Death Road' for about 10 km in a compact group (safety first!) with a snack break.
Point 3: About 32 km with a splashy waterfall to start! The ride ends in Yolosa, where you’ll find a hotel with showers, a pool, and a buffet lunch. Around 5:00 PM, return to La Paz via the new road.
