The Bolivia La Paz Death Road Riding on the World's Most Dangerous Road with Barracuda Biking is a full-day tour starting at 7:30 am from the Barracuda Biking Company in La Paz. Participants are transported privately to La Cumbre at 4700 meters above sea level. There, riders receive all necessary riding equipment including helmets, gloves, knee and elbow pads, jackets, and pants. Each rider is assigned a Kona full suspension bike with hydraulic disk brakes, adjusted for height and brake preference. Experienced guides with about ten years of experience provide a safety briefing and riding instructions before the ride begins. The tour covers a total distance of 64 kilometers with a descent of over 3500 meters. The first 24 kilometers are on paved roads through the Andes valley, allowing riders to get used to their bikes and brakes, with occasional stops for views and explanations. Upon reaching Unduavi, riders pay a mandatory 50 Bolivianos road tax. From there, participants board a bus for an uphill transfer to the start of the original Death Road, known as the world's most dangerous road. The remaining 40 kilometers follow the old Death Road carved into the Andes mountainside. This section passes through cloud forest and tropical jungle, with views of waterfalls, rivers, and small communities. Guides provide safety briefings at key points to prepare riders for corners and difficult sections and share historical information about the route. There are two snack stops and unlimited bottled water throughout the ride. The tour ends at a jungle refuge where riders enjoy a buffet lunch, access to a private pool, and hot showers with towels, soap, and shampoo provided. After resting, the group returns by bus to La Paz, arriving near hotels about three and a half hours later. The entire tour lasts about 24 hours and includes all equipment, meals, and private transport.
