MOUNTAIN BIKING DEATH ROAD in BOLIVIA! - GoPro Hero7 Black
When we got to Bolivia and found out the number one thing to do is mountain bike down something called “Death Road“, there’s no way we were going to miss it!
North Yungas Road between La Paz and the Yungas region of the country is known as the world’s most dangerous road, due to its narrow width and the 2000-foot cliff that drops off to one side with no barriers. Over the years hundreds of people have unfortunately lost their lives on this stretch of highway, which has been dubbed Death Road. Surprisingly it’s also turned into a tourist attraction, with plenty of intrepid travellers grabbing mountain bikes and riding down its twisting, perilous path.
We signed up for a Death Road mountain biking tour with the company Gravity Assisted, the most reputable operator in La Paz. We left the city and headed to the highest point of the road, way up in the mountains. From there it was a 3600m descent over 60km along the incredibly scenic and slightly terrifying Death Road.
Afterwards we paid a visit to a wildlife sanctuary that rescues endangered animals such as spectacled Andean bears and spider monkeys from illegal trafficking.
It proved to be one of the most amazing experiences of our entire time in South America, and despite the name, we survived.
This video is not sponsored - we paid full price for our tour with Gravity Assisted, and highly recommend them if you’re considering mountain biking Death Road in Bolivia.
