Incredible MB day tour of the Death Valley
What a great and memorable day riding the Death Road. We were picked up on time (appx 730am) at our hotel in downtown La Paz and after being provided with good quality kit (full helmet, gloves, jacket, trousers and pads) and selecting a bike (we chose to be upgraded to full suspension which I recommend) we ascended to our start point in the mountains at some 4800 metres. We were also provided with a simple breakfast. We were briefed fully by our fabulous English speaking guide Thomas (half Belgian and half Bolivian) and given safety instructions. We then started our descent, firstly on the main tarmac road (appx 20kms) before reaching the start of the actual death road. Thomas was very patient and he stopped regularly to explain the route and explain the next stage of the descent. He was also the camera and video guy and regularly took individual and group pictures and videos to capture the tour. The death road itself is not technical and is easily navigable by mountain bike although having a good quality guide was important. We were followed by our mini bus who kept our bags safe and provided back up support if needed as well as helping with snacks and lunch stops etc. It took a few hours to make the full descent to the bottom of the trail road to appx 1200 meters and dropping off the bikes with Thomas and the driver ! We were then taken to a small hotel which had warm showers, a swimming pool and provided buffet lunch before being transported back to our hotel in La Paz for around 7pm. I highly recommended tour for those seeking a great day adventure from La Paz!…..

Great experience
We had a great time, and the best guide Thomas. He was super friendly, explained everything and took many photos and videos. Also the driver Franco was very nice too. We got good bikes and all the gear we needed, Always enough to eat and drink, and at the end the chance to hop into a pool or take a shower. Plus points because we were just two persons, and they still did the tour.

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Bike Down the Road of Death: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Paz.
How much does Bike Down the Road of Death cost?
+
Prices start at $93 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in La Paz usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bike Down the Road of Death take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in La Paz is not rushed.
Is Bike Down the Road of Death worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 32 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in La Paz, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bike Down the Road of Death?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Bike Down the Road of Death suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bike Down the Road of Death?
+
Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in La Paz can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in La Paz and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bike Down the Road of Death start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central La Paz within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in La Paz?
+
On Outty we rank every La Paz experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The World's Most Dangerous Road - Barracuda Biking's Death Road Riding, Death Road Biking Tour, Death Road, Bolivia: Mountain Bike Tour on the World's Most Dangerous Road. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit La Paz?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in La Paz?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Bike Down the Road of Death?
+
Included: Private transportation; Bottled water; VIDEOS WITH GO PRO CAMERA AND PHOTOS; Lunch; and Bicycle use. Not included: Entrance to Unduavi; and Carbonated beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Bike Down the Road of Death include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 72 listed pickup locations in and around La Paz. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Bike Down the Road of Death offered in?
+
It is offered in English, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Bike Down the Road of Death?
+

+
