Biking the Death Road Bolivia

Hearing all the stats (average of 1 tourist a year rides off the cliff, and when the road was used daily by locals average of 220 deaths a year) and horror stories about this road of course crazy us still wanted to conquer it! A 5 hour 64 km bike ride taking you from 4700m to 1100m along gravel roads carved into the mountain side with a 200m plumett to sure death on your left! Can I say adrenaline rush! Enjoy our ride!
