  • Mountain Biking on Death Road, Bolivia...A tour group of Mountain Bikers bike down the infamous narrow dirt road as the mist descends, most of the road no wider than 3.2 meter's, is cut into the side of the mountain with sheer drops to the left of up to 600 meter's with virtually no safety rails on the winding steep decent... The road was built in the 1930's during the Chaco War by Paraguayan prisoners to connect the Amazon rainforest region of Northern Bolivia to it's capital City La Paz. One estimate is that 200 to 300 travelers were killed yearly along the road. On 24 July 1983, a bus veered off the Yungas Road and into a canyon, killing more than 100 passengers in what is said to be Bolivia's worst road accident..A new stretch of the La Paz-Coroico highroad was opened in 2006 to bypass the notorious stretch known as death road..The danger of the road has now made it a popular tourist destination starting in the 1990's and drawing thrill-seekers and mountain bike enthusiasts who ride on the 64km mainly downhill stretch from La Cumbre, a 4,700 meter peak to Yolosa, a decent of 3600 meter's (11,800 feet). The journey includes breathtaking views of snow covered peaks and towering cliffs and starts along modern asphalted road before entering the jungle itself and the most dangerous and notorious part of the ride. The infamous narrow dirt road, most of the road no wider than 3.2 meter's, is cut into the side of the mountain with sheer drops to the left of up to 600 meter's with virtually no safety rails on the winding steep decent..There are now many tour operators catering to this activity, providing information, guides, transport and equipment. Nevertheless, the Yungas Road remains dangerous.
