Beginners to experts, average fitness and above, and in particular, those looking for a long, world-class, downhill mountain bike ride. A must do for any holiday in South America.

We drive up from La Paz, Bolivia en route to the Yungas valleys. We begin biking at wind-swept La Cumbre at 4,700m/15,400 ft of altitude. At this altitude you’ll get fantastic views of a number of snow-covered peaks, including Huayna Potosí (6,088m/19,973 ft). From here we descend rapidly down a twisting, asphalted road among mountain peaks, grazing llamas and alpacas, tiny villages and a drug check-post (?!). We stop for refreshments, photos, and rests along the way — all the better to give us time to take in the scenery: towering cliff faces, dramatic drops and ever greener vegetation… while preparing ourselves for the next breath-taking section.

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 (6,500 ft) in altitude. With 1,000m+ (3,300 ft) of vertigo enducing 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 (near Coroico) at an altitude of 1,200m/3,600 ft., you will be hot, dirty and exhilarated; having conquered the extreme Death Road (camino de la muerte) with no fear. Just below the village of Yolosa we head to La Senda Verde Animal Refuge, where we enjoy a late pasta and salad buffet lunch and take in the magnificent scenery and animals of the Yungas.

Many of our happy riders have said that this ride on Death Road with Gravity Bolivia is the best experience of their trip, not only in Bolivia, but in all of South America. Dropping over 3500m of altitude this adventure will be one of the best of your holidays! Book your spot on Death Road now!
