ITINERARY
La Paz – La Cumbre – Yolosa – Coroico
The adventure begins with hotel pickup at 7:00 am in La Paz. We then travel by private vehicle to La Cumbre Pass (4,700 m / 15,420 ft), the highest point of the tour and starting point of the world-famous Death Road Bike Tour.
After a safety briefing and bike equipment check, we begin an incredible downhill ride descending approximately 3,500 meters (11,483 ft) through breathtaking landscapes over about 5 hours.
The first section of the route follows paved roads surrounded by the cold mountain scenery of the Andes near the Cordillera Real. After approximately one hour, we arrive at the village of Unduavi, where the dramatic transition from high mountains to lush cloud forest begins.
Along the route, we make several stops to:
Rest and hydrate
Take photographs
Enjoy snacks
Appreciate the spectacular scenery
One of the most exciting highlights is passing beneath two waterfalls that fall directly onto the road near San Juan, creating a unique and unforgettable experience.
The descent continues through tropical jungle landscapes until reaching Yolosa (1,180 m / 3,871 ft), where temperatures often exceed 25°C / 77°F.
At Yolosa, the biking adventure ends and our private transport takes us to Coroico (approximately 30 minutes). A buffet lunch will be served at a selected hotel, followed by around 2 hours of free time to:
Explore the town
Relax by the pool

Enjoy the warm climate
In the afternoon, we return by private transport to La Paz, arriving at approximately 8:00 pm.
