The Death Road, or the Camino del Muerte, as it is affectionately known in Bolivia is the worlds most dangerous road. No joke, it is pretty damn scary. A 2 way dirt road snaking through the Andes with 600 metre drops and barely enough space for 2 vehicles to pass claims 100 lives per year. The crosses and shrines to the unfortunate departed serve as a reminder to the perils of the death road all along it´s route.

Adrenaline Travel doesn´t come more real than this, as on the Xtreme Bolivia Experience you will go mountain biking down the Death Road, with Gravity Biking. The 65 Km ride descends 1200 metres, so fortunately you don´t have to peddle hard, as gravity will do the work especially as the air is so thin at this altitude (above 4000 metres).

Before you start to rush to take out life insurance, we should mention that over 8000 people have done this trip last year, 50,000 in total and most have survived, so the chances of you returning are pretty good, but if it isn´t for you, do not worry, you can spend the day in La Paz instead.
