Death Road: Extreme biking with scenic landscapes

The Death Road, officially known as the Yungas Road, is a tourist attraction for adventurers seeking challenging experiences. Cyclists can enjoy stunning views of the rainforest and Bolivia's mountainous landscapes. This winding road, known worldwide as the Death Road, descends from the Andes Mountains to the Amazon rainforest, offering adventure enthusiasts the thrill of riding downhill on a very narrow and dangerous road. In addition to traversing a road famous for its danger, cyclists can enjoy the unique flora and fauna of the region, as well as waterfalls, rivers, and landscapes. It has become a popular destination for mountain biking due to its tight curves and steep cliffs, passing through several small towns. The starting point of the Death Road is at an approximate altitude of 4600 meters above sea level, and the endpoint is at an approximate altitude of 1100 meters above sea level. Tours are guided by experienced guides who know the route. The weather can change rapidly in the mountains, so it is best to start the activity early.
