Death Road Mountain Biking Tour in Bolivia
This full-day mountain biking tour on Bolivia’s Death Road suits adventure seekers and offers a 64 km descent from La Cumbre to Yolosita with professional bilingual guides.
Description
You begin at La Cumbre (4,700m), descending on a paved road past small villages to get used to the bike. Frequent breaks allow guides to take photos, check bikes, and give safety instructions.
From Chuspipata, the start of the original Death Road, the trail changes to dirt with lush vegetation, mist, and low clouds. You will ride through small waterfalls and rivers, so expect to get wet.

After the ride, you arrive at a hotel to enjoy a buffet lunch, shower, and relax by the swimming pool.
