La Paz → Yungas · Mountain bike descent

Mountain biking the Death Road

Starting from La Paz, the legendary North Yungas Road — elegantly nicknamed the “Death Road” — reveals one of the most exclusive and spectacular mountain bike descents in the world. From the breathtaking peaks of the Altiplano, bathed in pure and crystalline air, to the lush depths of the tropical Yungas valleys, the route offers a natural transition of rare intensity.

A vertiginous descent

As the descent unfolds, the panoramas transform with an almost unreal majesty: dizzying cliffs plunging into the void, sparkling waterfalls springing from the rock, and exuberant vegetation gradually wrapping the landscape in a captivating Amazonian atmosphere.
