Descending approximately three thousand five hundred meters along an extraordinary route through one of the world’s most breathtaking locations leads visitors to an animal sanctuary nestled within the lush jungle. Participants can enjoy exhilarating experiences by utilizing high-quality bicycles from the leading company in Bolivia, ensuring a safe and distinguished journey. Prepare yourself for an unforgettable adventure as you traverse Death Road.



The "World's Most Dangerous Road," commonly referred to as "Death Road" or "Camino de la Muerte," offers a thrilling and breathtaking adventure in South America. This iconic route begins in La Paz, Bolivia, where drivers embark upon a winding journey starting at an elevation of 4,700 meters above sea level. Here, they encounter panoramic vistas of snow-capped mountains stretching out before them.

As they continue their descent, traversing through rugged terrain, they pass by grazing llamas, alpacas, and quaint village settlements nestled amidst lush greenery. Alongside these natural landscapes, they stop periodically to rest, snap photos, and savor local delicacies, ensuring ample opportunities to absorb the stunning scenery: towering cliffs, dramatic drop-offs, and verdant foliage.

Next, the travelers navigate through dense jungle, where the road becomes increasingly perilous due to its narrow, rocky path carved into the mountain slopes. They ascend steeply while navigating through misty conditions and enveloped by thick cloud cover, making each step a challenge. Despite the increasing heat and dustiness, the final stretch leads them to Yolosa, where they emerge victorious, drenched in sweat and exhilaration, having successfully completed the dangerous ascent.

Post-ride, participants can explore the nearby La Senda Verde Animal Refuge, enjoying a hearty buffet meal and immersing themselves in the beautiful surroundings and the wildlife of the Yungas region. Visitors have reported seeing hundreds of monkeys, Andean spectacled bears, capibaras, various bird species, and other endemic fauna, all contributing significantly to the sanctuary’s conservation efforts.

Numerous satisfied riders attest that this adrenaline-fueled journey was one of the highlights of their travels in Bolivia, regardless of prior cycling experience.
