Worlds Most Dangerous Bike Ride

Collection Time from Hotel: 7.30am
We meet at Oliver’s cafe early morning where you will meet your Guide from Gravity Assisted Mountain Biking Tours. Your guide will go over safety regulations, the route and the gear that you will be using. Make sure to pay close attention and ask any questions you may have so you know what to expect. The guide will cover all the necessary information and will gladly answer any and all of your questions.

With our bikes strapped to the top of a private bus, we head north towards La Cumbre (4,650masl) in Los Yungas to prepare for our downhill adventure. You will be given protective riding suits, gloves, a helmet and a reliable mountain bike upon arrival (be sure to bring comfortable and secure shoes for the trip!). The guide will go over a few last details before we embark down the world's most dangerous road!

Mount your bike and speed downhill with a sheer cliff face on one side, dodging passing vehicles and skidding your way around the twisted road. Common cloud cover and the occasional rainfall make this perilous journey even more hazardous as the dirt road becomes slippery and visibility can quickly diminish. Staying alert and remembering the valuable information explained by your guide is ideal to ensure a safe passage. A stop will be made during the journey, allowing the travelers to snap some truly beautiful pictures of the surrounding mountain peaks, deep valleys and lush vegetation.

Dropping down to 1,700masl, we pass coca plantations, grazing llamas and alpacas accompanied by their herders as well as vast stretches of mountain grasslands. The beauty of the region can certainly be distracting, so be careful not to lose your concentration on this harrowing Andean pass.

At the end of the journey, we will enjoy a well-deserved cold beer - calming the nerves and celebrating our accomplishment of surviving the most dangerous road in the world. We then pack up the gear and head back to La Paz where the tour will end at Oliver’s cafe. As a reward for your achievements, you will be given a Gravity T-shirt recognizing your triumph and survival of the dangerous adventure!
