5.00My wife and I had an amazing day riding Bolivia's famous Death Road with Altitude Travel! From the very beginning, everything was organized and professional. We were picked up early from our hotel and driven up to nearly 15,000 feet, where we enjoyed breakfast and got geared up for the ride. The bikes and equipment were first-rate and well maintained. We started on the paved section, reaching speeds of up to 36 mph before transitioning onto the gravel sections of the Death Road. Our guide, Eloy, was outstanding. He shared fascinating information about the road, the surrounding area, and its history throughout the day. The pace was perfect for both my wife and me, with plenty of stops for breaks, photos, and to take in the scenery. One of the best parts was that Eloy took tons of photos and videos, allowing us to focus on enjoying the ride and the breathtaking views instead of worrying about capturing the moment. Luis, our driver, did a fantastic job keeping everything running smoothly and safely throughout the trip. The beautiful resort at the end of the ride was the perfect place to relax, and the lunch was delicious. Riding Death Road had been on my bucket list for years, and Altitude Travel made the experience absolutely perfect. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure in Bolivia!
More like snooze road!
