I did this in 2000! First time I have seen a video of it. Memories come flooding back. I spent a few days in Coroico for a festival, and watching the condors. I cherish the few pics I have. Great job!

Brilliant, just brilliant!!!

Thank you so much :)

I just did this route few months ago , amazing trip but also really scary to think about people drove here

The tour that you guys had include the visit of senda verde? What company did you guys go with?

I did this back in 2018 and the views and ride are incredible.

Thank you. I hope you get there one day. It was a great experience and an amazing place.

I did this in 2002 - when it was still a major highway into and out of La Paz! Looks like no cars or buses these days!

what types of bikes did they have? so interested but worried they won't have ones for me (petite size). also how steep are the descents, and how fast were you going?

Looks like fun and I loco enough to do the ride

also are there challenging bits on the terrain? I see you had to go into some dips and bumps- how often and how impactful were theY? (csn't really see when it's fast forwarded on the gopro) ALSO re: gopro did it overheat at all when you're videoing for that long without being able to reach for the on off button ?

Y'all, this looks low-key terrifying. I mean incredible. But terrifying.

@nomadasaurus

Hi, sorry for the late reply. We paid $125USD each or their tour. There are cheaper but we didn't mind paying more as they are a respectable company that service their bikes correctly and are high on safety. We have 2 guides with our group the whole time and the bus followed us. At the end, we went to an awesome animal rescue sanctuary for lunch and explored it.

The mt. Everest of bike riding. That looks...insane

It was definitely crazy. It use to be more crazy when traffic used this road. A highway was built now so there is no traffic using this road. :)

That’s so awesome. Just take your time. Go at your own pace, it’s not a race. We highly recommend the company Gravity. Their bikes are serviced regularly, they are safe, two guides (front and back) and a bus follows you with you bag and snacks and incase you have had enough. A couple did it with us and he rode but she just rode in the bus (not a fan of heights). Get a GoPro to record it as you need both hands on the handles. When you stop for breaks and view points you can get your camera out of your bag in the bus. Have a great time .

Did he just say cevaisez?

why are people saying this is terrifying? this trail is green, if even that - it just one massive really wide fire road with a cliff next to it. there are no jumps, rolls, wooden features or anything somewhat challenging as well.

For some, it may not be terrifying but for others it is. Everyone is different. It's not all about the road itself but the surroundings I think that terrifies people the most. And if you go over that edge, you are dead. :)

I think this probably all the buses that were never designed for this kind of grade and with dubious maintenance. Personally id feel safer on a bike than in a motor vehicle here

I went down this road back in 2011, the weather was cloudy and foggy, we could barely see any of those sights, the rain was freezing our fingers to the point where we had a hard time using the brakes, at some points the road gets extremely narrow, so the challeging part to me was concentrating, not slipping on the stony road and not being thrown out into those abysses. I remember the instructors giving terror vibes saying "be aware of how your bike works, if you brake ~like this~ you might fly like a superman and there's no rescue at all down there" (which is true tho?), and then you pass by all those tributes to the dead people + Bolivia has such a mystical thing on air to me... One part of the road was completely blocked by the rocks that had fallen out of the mountain, making us take our bikes over our heads on a human chain due to how narrow that part was. I mean, you're right, many parts of the road were definetely steady and ok, but as whole I felt scared.

Not for me ,I'm scared of heights

Put close caption.

Most of the video authors talking about how they're feeling

Doing this drunk is probably hard mode.

I am not looking to say anything bad but I don't really get that literally all of these Yungas Road cycling videos have a 100% happy vibe. Almost as if the content creators would be somehow trying to ignore the fact that a crazy amount of innocent people have actually died there. If I ever get there I would surely happily ride my bike there and would have a good time but I would also try my best to think of the lost ones and their grieving families.
