This is a wonderfull experience but not for the fainthearted. There are several touristoffices in La Paz who offer this trip make sure you find one that has good bike. Ask to see them, because you want one with good working brakes. You start early in the morning with a breakfast in some hotel, then they take you up to the highest point where they give you all a bike and it is pretty much down hill from there, literaly speaking. The first few miles is one a big and broad road with good tarmac but then at one point it changes into a dirt road and then you'll see the whole environment change rapidly, you just plunge into the forest. The road itself is or was known as the most dangerous road on earth, looking down into the deep while I drove my bike over a dirth road letting the people who came from the other side pass next to the mountain while I tired to keep my balance it didn't really surprise me. To be honest there are reports about tourists who did this trip and died, Once you're at the lowest point they take you up to Coroico where you can freshen up at a hotel and have a drink by the pool. Everything should be included in the price even lunch. Only the drinks at the end have to paid for separate. I would recommend this trip to anyone who can ride a bike and is not affraid of heights.
