Explore TourTour Itinerary
The tour begins in the La Paz city office at 07:00 a.m. where we will provide the special equipment for the tip according to your size.
We leave at about 7:15 towards the "la Cumbre" in our vehicles. Upon arrival at the peak, the tour guide will provide safety instructions and an explanation about how to ride the bikes on this complicated road. Then we begin our descent by bicycle. The first segment of the tip is on paved road, with a duration of about 2 hours. During the trip you can enjoy the marvellous view of the snowy mountains.
Once we reach the police checkpoint, we will stop to pay Bs. 25.- per person, in order to enter into the Cyclist Park. This means we will take a road with very low traffic. The cyclist can have as much fun as they want, since they have priority on this track.
We will continue the Unduavi-Chuspipata segment in our vehicles. During this part of the trip we will provide a series of snacks (banana, chocolate bars, cookies, coca cola and water). In Chuspipata the tour guide will again give instructions to the tour participants in order to be able to continue on the dirt road. During this part you may enjoy the exuberant vegetation.
The tour of the Death Road ends at the town of Yolosa, located at a height of 1180 meters above sea level and that has a semi-tropical climate with an average temperature of 28 degrees.
We will transport the group in our vehicles to the town of Yolosa, where the participants may enjoy a hot shower, the swimming pool and buffet lunch. The views of the landscape are spectacular.
After a short rest, we will return to the city of La Paz, arriving between 18:30 and 19:30 hours.
It is important to know that the English speaking tour guides know well how to repair the bicycles if needed. We also carry an extra bicycle for the group just in case one needs to be changed. Don't forget that riding a bicylcle on the death road is difficult and dangerous.
