Don't believe the conspiracy theories! The REAL reason GRAVITY is the only mountain bike tour company inBolivia recommended by ALL the guide books is that our customers leave happy and rave to EVERYONE about how great their day with GRAVITY was... and the guidebooks pick up on that.
With so many guidebooks out there we will try and keep this page up to date with the latest writeups, as well as some highlights from previous years. Footprint: South American Handbook 2007, 83rd Edition, editor Ben Box, published September 2006.Page 256: "Gravity Assisted Mountain Biking, Av 16 de Julio 1490, Edificio Avenida, PB, of 10 (across the hall from, and part of, America Tours), T231 3849, www.gravitybolivia.com. A wide variety of mountain biing tours throughout Bolivia, including the world-famous downhill ride to Coroico (US$50). Also offers rides more challenging than the Coroico ride, including technical single-track and high-speed abandoned dirt roads, complete with coaching and all the safety equipment needed. Highly professional and recommended. Quality book exchange, sells new and used guidebooks, and gives a free T-shirt with every ride. Often full so worth booking on their web site in advance." Page 274: "Gravity Assisted Mountain Biking (address under La Paz, Tour operators) run La Cumbre-Coroico down the so-called "World's Most Dangerous Road" with top quality bikes (with hydraulic disc brakes), English speaking guides, helmet, gloves, vehicle support throughout the day, four hours La Cumbre-Yolosa, then transport to Coroico and/or back to La Paz. Free next day transport back to La Paz. Recommended. Other Companies do this trip too, but quality varies, and going with a reputable company is a sensible option. Cheaper operators often have to cut corners."
