This is the road of death in Bolivia - known as the world's deadliest road, Death Road has been a curious spot on our bucket list for the longest time. So we booked a Death Road bike tour and decided to tackle the fear face on... This is the 15-Day South America tour we did: geni.us/RU5A5ft ⬇ See below for more details and recommendations ⬇
Welcome to Death Road Bolivia! The name was given to the official most dangerous road in the world, Yungas Road, about an 1.5-hour drive from La Paz. It was officially named the world’s most dangerous road in 1995, with an estimated 200 to 300 people killed on this road every year due to fog, landslides and cliffs that drop up to 1km.
Death Road basically never gets wider than 3metres and sadly there's crosses and memorials to those who have perished there over the years. That's perhaps the craziest thing, there's this deadly road and one of the best things to do in Bolivia is to cycle down it?
Truth is, these Death Road bike tours are really safe because the road is a lot safer now than it ever was. With the new paved path through the mountains, the old Yungas Road isn't really used all the much except for these kind of cycling tours.
Either way, one of the crazier things we've ever done and a highlight of our time in Bolivia and La Paz! We hope you enjoy this random little travel vlog of our adventures.
These South America travels were filmed in October 2023, an amazing time of year to visit. We spent a month exploring Peru, Bolivia, Argentina and Chile and these travel vlogs are to share our experience of the first time touching the continent... safe to say we loved it! Over that time we took 2 different tours with G Adventures and that saved our ass in more ways than one - stress free, safer, all the travel advice we needed, transport pre-arranged and an epic group of people to travel with.
