This Is DEATH ROAD in Bolivia - The World's Deadliest Road near La Paz
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 гру 2023
- This is the road of death in Bolivia - known as the world's deadliest road, Death Road has been a curious spot on our bucket list for the longest time. So we booked a Death Road bike tour and decided to tackle the fear face on... This is the 15-Day South America tour we did: geni.us/RU5A5ft ⬇ See below for more details and recommendations ⬇
Welcome to Death Road Bolivia! The name was given to the official most dangerous road in the world, Yungas Road, about an 1.5-hour drive from La Paz. It was officially named the world’s most dangerous road in 1995, with an estimated 200 to 300 people killed on this road every year due to fog, landslides and cliffs that drop up to 1km.
Death Road basically never gets wider than 3metres and sadly there's crosses and memorials to those who have perished there over the years. That's perhaps the craziest thing, there's this deadly road and one of the best things to do in Bolivia is to cycle down it?
Truth is, these Death Road bike tours are really safe because the road is a lot safer now than it ever was. With the new paved path through the mountains, the old Yungas Road isn't really used all the much except for these kind of cycling tours.
Either way, one of the crazier things we've ever done and a highlight of our time in Bolivia and La Paz! We hope you enjoy this random little travel vlog of our adventures.
These South America travels were filmed in October 2023, an amazing time of year to visit. We spent a month exploring Peru, Bolivia, Argentina and Chile and these travel vlogs are to share our experience of the first time touching the continent... safe to say we loved it! Over that time we took 2 different tours with G Adventures and that saved our ass in more ways than one - stress free, safer, all the travel advice we needed, transport pre-arranged and an epic group of people to travel with.

Haha what if it had a Bulls logo?
i can't think of a good way to say "yes".
but yes.
@@DanegerAndStacey
btw, pleasantly suprised you remember the Bulls connection
(they need a lotta help this season).
Wow!! Dangerous but Adventure! What an epic bike ride!
Crazy adventure but epic destination! Thank you guys for this! thanks Dane & Stacey ✌😎⚡
Happy New Year you legend!
What a cool experience! 🤩
Y'all are crazy😂😂Love from WA, 🇺🇸 ❤❤🎉🎉
Haha that's part of travel, we think!?
@@DanegerAndStacey You two have been to some really awesome places over the years. But I have to say, your New Zealand series was by far the the best one, in my opinion. 😊❤ I miss it.
Dane risking imminent death for the Broll. Glad you see you back on the road guys ❤
😂 I actually did have a chest mount, but just a couple wobbly moments is all! Glad you appreciate the hustle!
it's an epic ride!!! I highly recommend if you're an adventure and thrill seeker, this is a must do!!
Totally agree!
That looks amazing 🤩!!! hope I could do this too someday
You should!
It's the only road where the journey comes with a built-in disclaimer, and the views are so breathtaking, you might forget to breathe. I mean, I might not be gasping because I'm tired but because I'm fascinated with its scenery!
So entertaining! You guys are nuts to ride death road in the slick rain and gravel. OMG!! Glad you guys made it out alive! Loving this entire South American series!
Yeah riding in slick rain and gravel was an adventure in itself, but we made it out in one piece! So happy you're enjoying the South American series! Thanks for your support, it means a lot!
Good job Stacey , you made that look easy 👍 outstang scenery 💯
I agree, she nailed it!
Guys Cool Bike Ride, 🚲🚲Good job Stacey 👍
She always pushes through! 🥰
Frightening to watch, but stunning view! Glad you did this and filmed it so we can see it, because I would never do this. -Michelle
You'd never get the air stream down there either 😂
Absolutely stunning yet terrifying at the same time 👏
100% true! Such a wild adventure though
Danger is not on our radar scene. Thnak you for sharing this video. All the best. Harriet Jim and Yuki
It's definitely not on Stace's either 😂 She's done so well pushing herself out of her comfort zone though, proud moments
I assumed you had helmet cams, until Dane says he’s riding one handed with a camera in the other 😮
I actually did have a chest mount, but just a couple wobbly moments is all one handing for a different view!
I would definitely do it and the view is spectacular
Put it on the bucket list!
Those views!
But also… “I’m just trying to concentrate on not dying” 😂😂
😂😂
What company did you use for this bike ride? I can’t see it linked or the name noted in your description. Thanks heaps
Oh it was through G Adventures so we didn't really take note in the video sorry, but the tour was run by Enhance.
First!
Good to see you back so quick! Here ya go 🥇
I don't think I'd survive that roadway in a vehicle let alone on a bike. 😳
Super afraid of heights. Oh, and plummeting to my death. 🤣✔️
I was going to ask if you were one handing it because of the camera but you answered that. Head or chest mount go pro might have been the way to go. Well for those of us less coordinated. 😂🎉
-western NY Aimee
In places it's probably safer on a bike to be honest! I actually did have a chest mount, but just a couple wobbly moments is all while trying to one hand direct the point of view to show a bit more
But people who have to get to LA Paz, they don't go there on their bikes, they have to go there on their vehicles and it's extremely dangerous. May God be there for them all every step of the way. Lots of people lost their lives on that road. God bless them all who have to get there on their trucks & busses. 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
Dangerous
Incredibly so! Would you do it?
@DanegerAndStacey not too sure. I am afraid of heights
Looks like it will be fun on a gravel bike. Julio seems really nice and chill
He was super chill! So many good guides and people in general like that
How long does it take to complete the entire journey?🤔
It's basically a full day trip!
Your third traveling partner is a cutie. Shame he is all alone.
He's single too 🫶🏼
I'm with Stacey on her initial comments about cycling the death road. To be fair, I don't bike period.
Fair enough, definitely a watch not do moment then! We're happy to do the crazy stuff and just share it with ya!
@@DanegerAndStacey works for me!
That didn’t look to challenging 😮
To be fair we did go pretty slow in places, apparently some groups FLY down and I would have been keen on that, Stace not so much 😂
Dane as usual gives me a heart attack :P
😂 it's basically fitness when you watch us then!
@@DanegerAndStacey true so true...
Did you ate guinea pig? :P
Yup we did in Peru!
It's a no from me y'all! :D
Haha not for everyone is it !
