    HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

    Outstanding day! Weather was great. Small group of just three people so the guide could give you the time you needed. Sorry, I forgot the name of our guide but he was great! Funny and thoughtful. Always had patience with all of us. Well worth the trip and also the cool T-shirt. MAKE IT HAPPEN. YOU WON'T REGRET IT!

    Must Do!

    I highly recommend this tour. The weather was not optimal on our day but that just made the experience that more exciting the guides were great!!! Leon and Oly were informative, safe, knowledgeable, and fun. They provided elbow and knee pads and pants, jacket and helmet. Lunch was a buffet that was plentiful and good. You will get dirty. I ended up throwing away my shoes. You can wash your shoes at the end but bring another pair to wear back or prepare to wear wet shoes back. They provide hot showers at the end so take an extra outfit, shampoo, conditioner, hair brush for the ladies (hair gets mud and dirt and knots). The tour actually picked us up and dropped us off at our local la Paz hotel. Def add this to your bucket list.

    Death road biking tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Paz.

    How much does Death road biking tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $90 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 Death road biking tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 12 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 Death road biking tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Death road biking tour?

    +

    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 Death road biking tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Death road biking tour?

    +

    Around 1 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Death road biking tour 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 Death road biking tour?

    +

    Included: Lunch; Security equipment (helmet, vest, gloves); Photos and videos of the tour; Private transport to and from your hotel; and Showers and swimming pool. Not included: Entrance fee (BS. in correct change preferably); Extra drinks at the end of the tour; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Death road biking tour?

    +

    Main door of the San Francisco Church. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Death road biking tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, English and French. 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 Death road biking tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Death road biking tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available; and Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Death road biking tour if the weather is bad?

    +
