• 5An unforgettable Experience.

  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable Experience on Bolivia’s Death Road! 🇧🇴🚴‍♀️ Eloy, Israel, and Dr. Bike are truly the coolest guides! They are trustworthy, knowledgeable, professional, and absolutely amazing. Not only did they guide us throughout the adventure, but they also taught us so much about Bolivian history. I’m Bolivian, but I’ve lived abroad for many years, and this was my first time biking down the famous Death Road. I was absolutely amazed by the breathtaking scenery and the entire experience! I highly recommend this adventure to everyone. It’s something you should experience at least once in your lifetime! I will definitely be coming back next year! A huge THANK YOU to Eloy, Israel, and Dr. Bike for making this adventure so special and unforgettable! ❤️🇧🇴🚴‍♀️ Patricia Hilditch.

  I had the most amazing tour with Altitude and especially my guide, Nelson; Coca Colas. He made the whole experience really special, he is incredibly knowledgeable about all parts of death road and made me feel really safe. The whole thing was really well planned and organized. I couldn’t recommend it more highly, super beautiful!

• 5AMAZING. Highly recommended

  We had an excellent guide, Eloy, and an equally wonderful driver, Papi. I must admit that I was a little nervous at the beginning, but my concerns were completely unnecessary. I felt safe throughout the entire experience, and it was clear that both Eloy and Papi have a great deal of experience. From the very beginning, they explained everything to us clearly and provided us with a great deal of useful information. The journey down was truly amazing. We had regular breaks, with plenty of time to rest and enough information about each part of the journey. The breakfast and snack provided were also excellent. Eloy shared a lot of interesting information about the route, as well as fascinating insights into local life and the area. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone. A big thank you to Eloy and Papi!

La Paz is Bolivia's seat of government, a high-altitude city in a canyon below Illimani, linked by cable car and known for its markets.

La Paz fills a steep canyon on the Altiplano, between roughly 3,200 and 4,000 metres above sea level, with the snowy peak of Illimani standing over its southern edge. Sucre is the constitutional capital, but the government sits here. Plaza Murillo holds the cathedral and the presidential palace, and nearby Calle Jaén keeps colonial houses and small museums.
