The tour starts early with a hotel pickup at 7:00 AM, heading to the summit near La Paz at 3,600 meters (11,810 feet) at the base of the Cordillera Real de los Andes. Along the way, participants see the high plateau’s desert flora and fauna as well as the snow-capped mountains.

The descent passes streams, waterfalls, and diverse plant and animal life. There is a midday break to rest and refresh. The biking portion ends at 1,200 meters (3,940 feet) by a bridge in a warm climate. After the ride, travelers transfer 35 minutes to Dos Rios hotel near Coroico to shower, eat lunch, and relax by the pool or common areas.
