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.

The Most Dangerous Road In The World | Death Road, La Paz, Bolivia

The Most Dangerous Road In The World | Death Road, La Paz, Bolivia
Death Road in the Yungas region of Bolivia, also called Grove's Road, Coroico Road, Camino de las Yungas and Road of fate. Leading from La Paz to Coroico, 56 kilometres northeast of La Paz in the Yungas region of Bolivia. It is legendary for its extreme danger and in 1995 the Inter-American Development Bank christened it as the world's most dangerous road, Same as from south — A South Yungas Road (Chulumani Road) exists that connects La Paz to Chulumani, 64 kilometres east of La Paz, and is considered to be nearly as dangerous as the North Road.

Road death was built in the 1930s during the Chaco War between Bolivia and Paraguay Paraguayan prisoners. One of the few routes connecting the Amazon rainforest in northern Bolivia, in particular, the city of Coroico, in La Paz, the largest city in the country.
This is one of the few routes that connects the Amazon rain-forest region of northern Bolivia, or Yungas, to its capital city. Upon leaving La Paz, the road first ascends to around 4,650 meters or 15,260 ft at La Cumbre Pass, before descending to 1,200 meters or 3,900 ft at the town of Coroico, transiting quickly from cool Altiplano terrain to rain-forest as it winds through very steep hillsides and atop cliffs.

The largely single-lane road has no guard rails and cliffs of up to 600 meters (2,000 feet). Most of the road is the width of a single vehicle, about 3.2 meters (10 ft). During the rainy season from November through March, rain and fog can severely hamper visibility, and water runoff can turn the road into a muddy track, affecting traction. In the summer, rockfalls are common and vehicle dust limits visibility as well.

One of the local road rules specifies that the downhill driver never has the right of way and must move to the outer edge of the road. This forces the faster downhill vehicle to stop so that passing can be negotiated safely. Unlike the rest of Bolivia, vehicles are required to drive on the left side of the road, to give the driver a better view of the vehicle's outside wheel and making passing safer.
The danger of the road made it a popular tourist destination starting in the 1990s, drawing some 25,000 thrillseekers. Mountain biking enthusiasts in particular have made it a favourite destination for downhill biking since there is a 64-kilometre (40 mi) stretch of continuous downhill riding with only one short uphill section. There are now many tour operators catering to this activity, providing information, guides, transport, and equipment. Nevertheless, the Yungas Road remains dangerous. At least 18 cyclists have died on the ride since 1998.

Dangerous Ziplining Experience in Bolivia's Jungle | Yungas Region

In this video, we will show you the second most dangerous thing to do near La Paz, Bolivia.

The most dangerous thing is to bike, walk, hike, or drive death road in Bolivia. The second most dangerous thing to do is to go on the zipline with flying fox at the end of your tour of death road.

We mountain biked 63 KM down the death road, at the bottom of death road you can take a series of 3 zip lines.

A zip-line consists of a pulley suspended on a cable, usually made of stainless steel, mounted on a slope. It is designed to enable cargo or a person propelled by gravity to travel from the top to the bottom of the inclined cable by holding on to or being attached to the freely moving pulley.

Developed in 2010 to build tourism in the Yungas region, Zip the Flying Fox is a community-minded business providing travelers with sky-high thrills over the Amazon. Located in the tranquil town of Yolosa (the finishing point of all Death Road tours) Zip features a 1500 meter zip line that sees you whizzing rapidly along cables suspended above a valley or forest through the use of a harness and pulley system attached to the cables.

Operating daily from 9am to 11am and 1pm to 5pm, Zip the Flying Fox is a high-quality, safe, not to mention fun, activity perfect for those seeking a thrill in Bolivia.

North Yungas Road, Grove’s Road, Coroico Road, Camino a Los Yungas, Ruta de la Muerte, Death Road… tik daudz nosaukumu ir šim bēdīgi slavenajam ceļam. Pēc statistikas datiem tas atzīts par planētas bīstamāko ceļu. Nieka 64 km garumā katru gadu dzīvību zaudējuši 200-300 ceļinieki. Pārsvarā tas noticis, automašīnām nogāžoties no 600 m augstās kraujas. Iemesli – klintīs izkaltā ceļa platums tikai 3m, dubļi, migla, pārgalvīgi, iereibuši šoferi, ceļa ārējās malas izskalojumi… Pa šiem gadiem aizā pamanījušies ielidot arī 18 downhill riteņbraucēji

BOLIVIA || Overlanding The Death Road

Our newest video takes place in Bolivia - a country that is very difficult for US citizens to get into, and is very difficult to travel through, but has some of the most beautiful places we've seen in South America. We have so much footage of Bolivia that we are going to need to make several videos to cover everything we did in this country - this particular video shows the wildlife we saw during our first few days driving Bolivia, as well as our journey along the infamous Death Road, which turned out to be more beautiful than deadly, but impressive all the same.

Hope you enjoy!

Down the Yungas (Bolivia's Death) Road 06/02/12

Traveling down the Death Road from La Paz to Coroico. This is the old, unpaved way which incidentally much safer now since the new paved road has all of the buses and trucks. Saw around 3 cars on the way down besides the biker crowds.

Death Road, the World's Most Dangerous Road, Bolivia

Early on our final day in Bolivia, we headed to the top of La Cumbre Pass pass, at 4650 meters above sea level, to ride the infamous “Death Road” - or otherwise known as “The World’s Most Dangerous Road”. In 1995 the inter American Bank gave it this name because it was estimated 200-300 people died on this road every year.

As it turned out, on our ride, one rider did have a particularly bad near death and bone breaking experience. But more about that in the video.

Unser Ziel war aber der Dschungel!
Die Road of Death war sozusagen das touristische Programm. Das Abenteuer fing danach erst an.
Erster Akt: Die noch aktive Road of Death bei Dunkelheit in einem LKW.
Über die Strecke nach Rurrenabaque und auch wie wir wieder zurück kommen sollten wussten wir wie schon mal geschrieben quasi nichts - nur das es eine absolute Dreckspiste sein soll, die sehr anstrengend ist und bei Regen sehr schwer zu passieren sein wird - komplett untouristisch natürlich. Aber, steckenmäßig so nah am tropischen Regenwald, konnten wir uns es nicht entgehen lassen es zu versuchen. Die Probleme fingen beim Wetter an. Die Regenzeit scheint dieses Jahr extrem früh zu kommen bzw hier unten scheint es gerade eine Mini-Regenzeitzu geben. Wir sprachen mit Leuten die uns sagten, dass das Wetter hier im Moment so sei wie sonst nur mitten in der Regenzeit im Januar. Die Strecke wurde also streckenweise unpassierbar, dazu aber mehr später.
Das Dilema fing schon kurz hinter Coroico an. Ab Santa Barbara war die Straße wegen Bauarbeiten gesperrt, Durchlass immer erst ab 17 Uhr nachmittags! Für uns mit den Rädern bei dieser Straße unmöglich dann noch irgendeine Stelle zu erreichen wo man entweder campen oder übernachten kann. Wir mussten also irgendwie per LKW oder sonst wie weiter. Bei einem leeren Nissan Diesel LKW fragten wir nach ob wir mitfahren können - kein Problem. Was dann kam war das was ich in diesem Urlaub komplett vermeiden wollte und was ein kleiner persönlicher Albtraum ist. Man stelle sich eine oftmals sauenge Straße vor, auf der es an der einen Seite teilweise zig hundert Meter nach unten geht . Ferner eine natürlich unbefestigte Piste die durch tagelange Regenfälle komplett aufgeweicht ist und hohe Erdrutschgefahr aufweist - also sprich nichts Anderes als die Road of Death - nur das diese noch normal befahren wird. Zudem die einbrechende Dunkelheit und eine bolivianische LKW Klapperkiste bei der man sich nicht sicher sein kann was noch funktioniert und was nicht. Das ist aber nicht alles, die Krönung als Zugabe kommt ja noch: Da diese tolle Straße ja nur zwischen 17 Uhr nachmittags und 6 Uhr morgens überhaupt geöffnet ist, stürzten jetzt natürlich Massen von Autos und LKWs auf die Straße ein, auch von der anderen Richtung. Wir, die bergauf gefahren sind, mussten, um alles perfekt zu machen, natürlich auch noch die Straßenseite an der Abrisskante benutzen (Grund: die LKWs aus der anderen Richtung sind meist beladen, die in unsere Richtung unbeladen) Es folgten, für mich, haarsträubende Manovriermanöver an der Abrisskante. Teilweise scherte unser linkes Vorderrad nur Zentimeter, bzw gefühlte Milimeter, vor dem Abgrund ein. Einmal hatten wir uns total verfahren und blockierten die Straße. Es gab aber keine freien Ausweichbuchten mehr. Wir mussten dann eine lange Strecke rückwärts an den anderen LKWs vorbei zurück, was nicht so schlimm war weil uns von der Abrisskante ja die anderen wartenden LKW's trennten. Aber irgendwann hieß es dann natürlich rückwärts seitlich einparken - an der Abrisskante!! Ich muss sagen unser Fahrer hatte es schon richtig drauf, der kannte die Abmessungen seines LKW's perfekt! - Muss er aber auch!
Als es dann Dunkel wurde und der Fahrer das Licht anschaltete, wollte ich erst fragen ob ich nicht meine Stirnlampe vorne anbinden soll. Die wäre sicherlich heller gewesen als die Scheinwerfer, diese hatten nur im Fernlichtmodus in etwa die Leuchtkraft die man von zuhause so kennt. Und das hier auf dieser Straße - unfasabar! Um es kurz zu sagen: Mit meinem verweichlichten deutschen Sicherheitsdenken war das alles sehr gewöhnungsbedürftig! Das der Fahrer uns dann auch noch eine Stelle zeigte wo vor ein paar Tagen ein ganzer Bus den Abhang hinunter gestürzt ist - ohne Überlebenen - war auch nicht sonderlich förderlich „wink“-Emoticon Es ist einfach so das die Leute hier, die diese Strecke (noch) täglich befahren müssen, eine komplett andere Einstellung zur Sicherheit haben wie wir. Für die ist es Alltag sich dieses Risikos auszusetzen, es wird zur Gewohnheit. Das hier einfach viele Leute auf der Straße sterben gehört dazu, so wie bei uns vielleicht viele an Krebs sterben. Die Baustelle war aber übrings weil diese Straße komplett asphalteiert wird - nach und nach werden hier diese gefährlichen Straßen entschärft - zum Glück! In ein paar Jahren wird es hier sicher sein zu fahren bzw deutlich sicherer als jetzt. Es ist natürlich auch volkswirtschaftlich eine Katastrophe, dass so eine Straße als eine wichtige Versorgungs und Transportsader fungieren muss.
