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!

5.00I had dreamed of doing this mountain biking course for years (I am 64 years old), and as soon as the opportunity presented itself, I did not hesitate and I do not regret it. I recommend Gravity for their professionalism and the seriousness of their supervision; the equipment is in very good condition, and no one starts until the mountain bikes are perfectly adjusted. This is something to do once in a lifetime, for those who love action, of course!
Memorable day!

4.00It was a great experience, dedicated guides, they covered everything so you feel safe and dont do anything stupid. My only observation was the trasnportation. The van was not in the best shape and we felt very unconfortable with no room to move or put our things so we have to put the backpacks on the lap. Other than that it was a memorale day, thank you Gravity!
Wonderful

5.00We had an amazing experience on the Death Road tour in Bolivia. Damin and Ruben were absolutely fantastic guides – attentive, caring, motivating, and professional throughout the entire day. We always felt safe and well looked after, and it was clear that they genuinely cared about every participant. They took a huge number of great photos and videos, which was a wonderful bonus and helped us fully enjoy the experience without worrying about documenting it ourselves. The breaks were perfectly timed, giving us just the right amount of rest while keeping a great pace throughout the ride. Everything was exceptionally well organized from start to finish. All the equipment and support we needed were provided, and nothing was missing at any point. The guides adapted to our pace and needs, making the experience feel very personal rather than rushed or standardized. The animal sanctuary at the end was also a lovely surprise and a great way to finish the day. We highly recommend this tour to anyone considering mountain biking on Death Road. Excellent organization, outstanding guides, and an unforgettable experience.
