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!

Death Road ! Epic

5.00This experience was epic ! Our 3 guides were amazing and made us feel safe every step of the way . Took lots of breaks and explained everything to us along the way . Our driver / support van was great too … ok so here is how it was I’m a 63 yr old women the rest in their 20’s except for one dad . Loved the paved road but when we got onto death road I slowed down , I did not want to fall and one of the guides stayed back with me . I enjoyed zip lining and seeing the animals at the sanctuary. What a fun day
Great ride – but return transport could be improved

4.00We had a really fun day with Gravity Biking! Our guides Damian and Claudio were excellent – professional, friendly, and safety-focused – and Jhonny was a great driver during the ride itself. The bikes and gear were high quality, and we were well taken care of with snacks and water throughout the day. However, for a company that emphasizes safety (which I genuinely believe they care about), it was disappointing that the transport was in a very old and worn-out minivan with no seatbelts. The 3-hour drive back to La Paz was cramped and uncomfortable and made the long drive back quite tiring.
Spectacular!

5.00While this may seem intimidating, I can assure you that it is not at all. Our guide, Kenny, was amazing and made sure everyone was safe and comfortable. We could go at our own speed according to our comfort.
Was slightly nervous...

5.00Was slightly nervous about joining this on my own, but the team were lovely and I was quickly at ease! Damiano was super helpful with lots of facts about the area and preparing us for each part of the ride. I don’t have lots of biking experience so was often slower but everyone always waited at each check point. Really fun day and worth doing if you have a spare day in La Paz! And Gravity end at an animal sanctuary which was super cute and unique!
Enjoy
