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!

5.00As soon as I heard about this trek, I didn't hesitate, and it exceeded my expectations. A 5-hour trek descending over 3,000 meters, traversing different types of trails, weather conditions, and challenges. The Gravity Team leaves nothing to chance; absolutely everything is included from start to finish. For those who are unsure, it is challenging, but practically the entire route is downhill, making it possible to manage your effort.
Beautiful experience

5.00Excellent, very nice experience I am 64 years old and I wanted to do this course for many years, I had the chance to enjoy a stay in Bolivia to do it First of all the team:Damian and all his colleagues are unfailingly kind, very close to everyone and regularly trust you for those who have some doubts Regular stops on the course in order to be able to gather, essential because no one has the same level in mountain biking , take personal photos and breaks if necessary On the material side, everything is nickel , the bikes are in good condition and tried by everyone before the start, brakes and seat height for everything to be perfect The clothes on loan are in very good condition and in the right size as requested on the form at the time of registration Correct lunch break and unlimited water all along the way in a mini bus that follows constantly, impeccable Departure on time, important. The return is really long but it is due to the road (about 70 km of permanent climb at 15 km/h ) and not to the team or the condition of the vehicles that are clean And in summary, I am really happy to have had this great experience with the Gravity team and I definitely recommend Thanks again to Damian and all his colleagues 👍
Enjoy the Death Road with Gravity, the best day out in Bolivia

5.00Absolutely the best day out, great adventure. Damien and Cesar escorted us down Death Road with total professionalism but maintaining a light hearted approach throughout. Plenty of stops to capture the highlights, couldn’t have asked for more. From breakfast & coffee at pick up, to transfer to the top & gear fit out, total guidance all the way, ending in a nature refuge with showers, lunch and refreshments. Great job by the team from Gravity, I’m in my 70’s and coped with the ride, no problem. Highest of recommendations from me.
Great experience on the Death Road

5.00Damian and Guillermo were wonderful guides. Guillermo was such a safe driver, which was a relief as someone who went into this experience a little anxious. Damian's instructions were super clear, leaving me feel very safe and enjoying the entire experience. We were only a group of 2, by chance, which meant we were able to take our time when needed and speed up when we wanted to. It was expensive for a day trip, but given the quality of the bikes and guides, was extremely well worth it! Would recommend Gravity Bolivia to anyone looking to mountain bike the Death Road; what an experience!
An amazing experience

5.00This was a highlight of our trip!!! The description is exactly how it all played out, and it was so much fun. As someone who is scared of heights, I was apprehensive, but it was such a rush and the views were so spectacular that it was so worth it. As long as you listen to the safety instructions and aren’t stupid, you’ll be completely fine. I highly recommend going with Gravity. Seeing some of the other tour companies on the road with us, our bikes were much sturdier and looked so much safer, so for your own safety and peace of mind, spend the extra money with Gravity. They are also the only tour that ends at the animal sanctuary, and a portion of the cost of the tour goes towards the sanctuary where animals are rescued from the illegal pet trade. So on top on an amazing experience, you’re helping a local organization as well. Our guides Kenneth and Cesar were awesome!!! Oh, and WEAR WATERPROOF CLOTHING AND SHOES.
Fantastic crew!
