The Death Road is the previous main road between the Altiplano and the Amazonian jungle. Made of earth, narrow, wet, everything for creating a dangerous road. Many accidents occurred for the condition reasons or for the craziness of the Bolivian drivers. Now, a newly paved road replaces this old one.

The top

The initial part started on the newly paved road for the first hour. On this paved road, we could enjoy the speed and the beauty of the landscapes. Quite funny, we passed some controls, but not common controls, drug controls. Cocaine is a big problem here. As the coca leaves are produced down inside the jungle, the road is an interesting communication for exporting it.

The official death road into the jungle

After the relaxing part, now we continued on earth. Although the road is narrow for cars and buses, it was comfortable for mountain bikes. Even, the wet road made it funnier.

The zipline

A zipline has been installed recently. I did it in the superman position, head ahead. The sensation of flying was worth doing it!
