Death road, Camino de la Muerte in Bolivia

Starting off at La Paz where you meet your tour guides. They will then take you for an hour long mini-bus ride up to La Cumbre which is 15,400 feet (4,700 metres) above sea level and the start of your 40 mile downhill voyage. At La Cumbre you will admire the sights, get a safety briefing and receive some practice on how to handle the fierce gusts of wind on your bike. You will need this. From there on you start trekking down a road that locals have called, Camino de la Muerte (The Death Road).

You will find out on your voyage why this road has gained the honour of gaining such a name when you whizz over tarmac, dirt and mud roads as you realize that right next to you is a 3,300 foot (1,000 metre) drop into oblivion. While your adrenaline is pumping, your senses enhanced, you will also experience one-of-a-kind scenery of villages, Llamas, lush and green vegetation and even the snow-capped peaks of the Andes mountain range. At the end of your descent you arrive at the village of Yolosa, pedal to La Senda Verde Ecotourism resort and be greeted with a hot shower, relaxation at the pool and a well deserved Pasta Buffet.
