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!

5.00While 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
