La carretera de la muerte

El plan es hacer un tour en bici por la carretera de la muerte. Esta carretera era una carretera principal para la paz. Habia mucho tráfico. Muchas personas murieron en accidentes porque en varios partes el abismo al lado tiene varios cien metros. Todavía mueren turistas si se caigan en un parte peligroso.
Empezamos a 4600m de altura y después había 60km de bajado. Al inicio había 40km de asfalto para disfrutar y después un desayunito empezába la diversión. En unos partes era un poco técnico con piedras, baches y cascadas en la calle. Era muy entretenido. Terminábamos en una piscina y restaurante y después 3h de regreso a la paz. Esta actividad salía 27 Euro más menos. Muy barato.

The plan is to ride the famous "death road" on a mountain bike. Back in the days this was an important road for la paz and a lot of people died in accidents. If you fall of the road it's a couple hundred meters to the ground. Until today stupid tourists on bicycles die here. We started at an altitude of 4600m and had 60km of downhill in front of us. We started with 40km of asphalt enjoying beautiful views. After a breakfast the fun began. In some parts it was a bit technical with lots of rocks, potholes and waterfalls in the road. Just a great experience. Everyone got to enjoy the road with their own speed. We ended in a swimming pool with a restaurant. The drive back to la paz was 3 hours. And because we are in Bolivia the whole activity cost around 27 euros.
I was very skeptical of the zipline. I'm quite sure it was build without any standards and at least in Europe, the parts that were used are used to lift cargo, but are prohibited to use for everything including humans.Read more
