Death Road, Bolivia: Mountain Bike Tour on the World's Most Dangerous Road
Description
Fly down the 'world’s most dangerous road' on this thrilling mountain-biking adventure! Leave from a high-altitude plain near La Paz, and follow expert guides downhill for 40 miles (64 km) on a narrow, winding road carved into the side of the incredible Andes. Take breaks along the way to admire the landscape that changes from the snowcapped Andes to the lush Amazonian jungle. This is one of the most incredible experiences in South America, and one you'll want to do with the most reccomended company in Bolivia, which uses international safety standards and ensures incredible service. After the riding adventure, unwind at La Senda Verde Ecotourism Resort, an animal refuge, where you’ll enjoy lunch and observe rescued wildlife. Return to La Paz the same day, or stay overnight at La Senda Verde or in Coroico. This is one you'll be telling the grandkids, so do it right!

Gravity team is nothing less than fantastic. Our guides Damian and Claudio are very professional, kind and funny. And also great photographers. They take care of all your needs so you just have to enjoy the ride.
We had an amazing day! Our guide Damien and his colleagues explained everything step by step and guided us extremely well, so we never felt unsafe at any point. They are a highly professional team with well-equipped bikes. It was a fantastic experience in absolutely stunning surroundings. A big thank you to Damien and his colleagues!
Best trip I've ever had in Bolivia. The guides did an exceptional job, raising the level of a walk that is already wonderful
Amazing day. Good equipment. Guides were friendly, fun and engaging. They catered to the difference skill levels and confidence of the group and made us feel safe. Amazing experience starting high above the treeline and descending through cloud forest to the jungle. Was excellent to visit the wildlife refuge at the end of the tour. Highly recommend Gravity and the activity.
It was amazing!!! Everything was organized so well!! It is not scary and they help really good! We had amazing guides as well Damian and Ruben thanks you for a amazing day we will not forget
Damian was a great guide along with Claudio and the driver. Felt very safe with them, lots of great advice and information along the way!
Was an amazing day from start to finish. The bike ride was incredible in itself but what made it truly special was professionalism and dedication from Noel and Ruben - thank you both.
One of the best tours I’ve ever been on. I felt safe and well looked after the entire time. The guides (Noel and Ruben) were excellent at supporting both more experienced and less experienced bikers and we got lots of great pictures too, so we didn’t need to worry at all about taking our own. Expert driving in the minivan and loved that they support a small animal rehabilitation centre also.
I don't often review company and experience but this one worth it. Gravity Bolivia is on top, all was perfectly organized and the bikes in perfect conditions. Our guides lead by Damian were always around us to be sure everything is fine, we made several stops on the way for incredible pictures and unbelievable stories shared by the team. I did this with my son aged 13 years old and a guide stayed permanently with him. He just loved that day. I definitely highly receommend this company for an unforgettable experience if you stay around La Paz.
Our guides Noel, Alvaro and Ruben were amazing and made this day unforgivable. This tour is a must! Thanks to the whole team for everything.
