Mobile ticket
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!

5.00Damian was a great guide, he knew how to balance fun with seriousness. I trusted him very much.
Zongo valley ride a hidden Bolivian gem

5.00Fantastic company we had booked to do the death road but landslides and blockades around La Paz meant it was cancelled at short notice. Gravity were able to rebook us on the Zongo valley ride and picked us up at the airport 4 days later on our return from Uyuni. Our guide was Cristian who had great English and very attentive and safety conscious . Food before and at end of ride was great. The Zongo ride is a hidden gem. It’s only a couple of hours each way to get there. It starts at 4700M and drops to 500M so you get snow at the top banana plantations and monkeys at the bottom with some of the most spectacular waterfalls and ravines on the way. There are 14 hydroelectric plants on the way and the river is spectacular as it’s next to the road. Don’t worry if you miss anything on the way down because you get to do it all again in the van on the way back up. Highly recommend Gravity Bolivia for their responsiveness and service.
The best views

5.00Absolutely perfect from start to the end. Our guides Damian & Cesar took the best care of us. Trip ends in a sanctuary which is very beautiful. P.S: they know what vegan means
Fantastic experience

5.00I booked this tour the day before on a recommendation from some other travelers I met, and I'm so glad I did. Fantastic experience, highly recommend. Damian and his team did a great job of making sure our group made it down safely and quickly, with plenty of pictures to memorialize the experience. It is a long day, so be ready to be pretty tired at the end. The only thing I wish I had known was to bring a change of clothes and shoes to be comfortable on the ride back.
Super fun day with great equipment!! Had an amazing day with wonderful weather!

5.00Kenneth and his Team at Gravity were absolutely Brilliant. They have been the best Guides we have ever had. They were so Instructive, great fun and made sure we were safe the whole Tour. I would recommend everyone do this Tour with Gravity and hopefully they would be lucky enough to get Kenneth as a Guide.
Unforgettable time on Death Road

5.00This was by far the best tour I have experienced in recent years. Gravity has the highest standards that minimize accident risk. Looking at other groups along the way, the difference is immediately noticeable. The guides are entertaining, dedicated and have a lot of knowledge, even beyond the activity. You know how to entertain guests so that everyone has a good time. The group was also pleasantly small with four participants. ABSOLUTE RECOMMENDATION!!!
Thank you!

5.00Great experience and very good team with us! I recommend going around the animal shelter after the bike trip!
Amazing, I would 100% recommend it

5.00It was an amazing experience overall. The guides were super professional and helpful with any questions we might have (not only about this experience, but also about anything else!). The material was well taken care of, and I think that contributed severely to the comfort of the experience. It was a bit of a pity that for the first half of the day it was very cloudy (so the probably breathtaking views were just a bunch of clouds), but it was still definitely worth it. I would recommend this to anyone that loves a bit of an active experience while still enjoying amazing views and great company.
The best hassle free experience!

5.00My friends and I had the pleasure of participating in this experience in March 2026 and we can say that it was very fun and completely trouble-free! Our guide (Noel) conducted the entire trip impeccably, always informing us about all the points of attention! The same concern for providing excellent service extended to our driver and the other member of the Gravity team (Oscar). I recommend it to everyone who wants to have this experience in a relaxed and safe way!
