Once there was a road so dangerous that it became world renowned as the Death Road. Thankfully the government decided to built a paved alternative to bypass it. And a genius thought to start descending the original one in mountain bikes. Really, genius!
Today those adventurous souls that dare to go down “El Camino de la Muerte” get to call themselves survivors (there’s a cold beer at the end of the ride to celebrate, and even a t-shirt to remember the feat!).
Not for the faint-hearted, but for those looking for an adrenaline rush, the Yungas has you covered. In a few hours you’ll go from 4700 meters of altitude to 1000, on a proper mountain bike downhill, with a drop of up to 800 meters to your side. It was deemed the most dangerous road in the world for a reason!
Although I’ve never tried mountain biking before, the 5% of absolute terror I felt was widely overcame by the 95% pure fun I had while going down the road at crazy speeds, using muscles I didn’t know I had to try to control the bike.
I want to give a big thanks to @altitudetravelbolivia for making this experience happen!!!
If adventure is calling your name, then make sure you contact Altitude. They will pick you up and drop you off in La Paz, provide all the equipment needed, and their amazing guides will explain everything you should know to have a safe ride.
