  What an incredible day we had with Neil, Abel and Alex of Gravity. Could not recommend these guys, this activity or this company highly enough! We are a couple, my... read more husband is 56, and I’m 49, I was a little anxious initially- mainly because of the title ‘Death Road’, but with Gravity I felt completely safe. It’s mostly downhill, and over the whole 60 or so km’s we biked, we only had to peddle around only1/2 a Km - and that was easy. Firstly, Alex provides an excellent bus which meant we had more room to move around than other companies that used mini vans - he is also a safe and competent driver, and followed us downhill the whole way. When we stopped, he was right there, so you could put gear on or off the bus without having to carry a backpack. Abel was one of the guides, so friendly and kind and spoke great English - he would go on ahead and take photos of us at all the most scenic points as we cycled through so we have some stunning photos (you can stop and take your own also). Neil was our main guide, he is English so language is not an issue. Neil has the perfect mix of fun, humour and being serious with safety very much a priority. Neil is incredibly experienced in mountain biking, he would start each section with a safety briefing of what the terrain of the next section will be like, what to look out for, and any particular hazards or highlights. We felt completely safe with him.

The bikes, the gear and the people were all top notch - Gravity stood head and shoulders above other companies we saw on the day.

Go, enjoy this adventure- it is not as scary as you might think.

  Stop looking, book with this company NOW!

We had the most amazing day cycling death road with our fantastic guides Neil, Alvaro and driver Juan Carlos.
... read more /> Neil (lead guide) made sure we were as safe as possible at all times and his top tips were spot on.
We saw a lot of other participants with bad guides that were all over the road and didn’t get any cool photos like we did.

What is the price of your safety?- yes they are a little
more expensive than the other companies but the bikes are top of the range with double suspension and the guides make sure you are aware of the hazards ahead of time.

The lunch at the end was awesome too, can’t recommend this company enough.

PS- Neil, Paul reckons he’ll have you next time 😉

  Absolutely the company to go with. Excellent bikes (Alverto always available to fix stuff should any technical issues arise). Neil was our guide- professional, friendly, patient and always keeping an... read more eye on how everyone was. At every stop he gave us intel on what types of conditions were coming up and what we should be aware of. Our driver (I’m v sorry- I’ve forgotten your name) was extremely competent in all road conditions. I couldn’t recommend these guys more - you literally can trust them with your life.

  Such an amazing day with Gravity, cycling the Death Road outside of La Paz. If you get the chance, do it, you won’t regret it. Gravity truly has the best... read more bikes, gear and team. Thanks to Willy for driving us there safe and sound, how he could see the road in the fog I don’t know. Our guides were awesome. Marco kept the back markers safe and kept the group together. Our lead guide Garry was brilliant all day. Sharing lots of local knowledge about La Paz and the Death Road. His positive attitude, ensured that everyone participated and got involved. It was interesting and saddening to hear of some of the lost on the road, but helped to sharpen our sense to what lay ahead and keep us safe.

It was an early start with a 6:30am pick up in town. Then we took the mini bus ride (about 1hr 30) to the starting point, with a quick coffee stop along the way. The start of the trail is a tarred road, allowing you to get used to the bikes, Kona Stinky full suspension, very capable. A quick coffee stop along the way near to the checkpoint. We started the official Death Road approx 11am. From there the day went quickly. We had a 30 minute lunch stop with sandwiches and snacks provided after a couple of hours. It had rained recently so the trail was a bit more demanding than usual. Just don’t look down! I won’t spoil the surprises but it was fantastic, breathtaking scenery and sheer cliffs. Finishing at the animal sanctuary was great, hot food and showers were very welcome. We had a great group of people on our tour which kept spirits high and were a good laugh.

Gravity was the first to carve out the Death Road tour, if you want the best bikes, gear, safety and organisation, go with Gravity. Worth every penny.

  Had a great time riding with Gravity in the famous Death Road in Bolivia. The two guides Garry and Gus besides being excellent professionals made the hole experience even better.

  We had been travelling by bicycle in Peru and Bolivia for 5 weeks. So arriving in La Paz we thought about doing Death Road on our own as we... read more had our own bikes. We were unsure so we signed up with Barracuda as we liked their reviews. They didn’t have enough riders so we were picked up by the Gravity Team. What a fortunate turn of events. Neil, Marcos and the driver were all top notch. Neil was extremely patient with the nervous riders and made sure all options were offered to everyone so we all got the experience we wanted and paid for. He was very thorough with descriptions of hazards on each section and also the safety aspect to make sure we all got home in one piece. You could tell that he cared and enjoyed his job as a guide. Part of being a good guide is assessing all of the riders in the group. My brother and I along with a few others were a bit more experienced than some and Neil made sure that we got out of our comfort zones with some speed runs. I felt everyone in the group enjoyed their day all because of the Gravity team. A Fun and Safe activity provided by this agency. I recommend them!

  It was our second experience with Gravity, our guide in this second trip Garry, was really gentle, caring us with all details and necessary information for us to have a... read more safe and fun trip. We strong recommend to visit the most dangerous and fun road with Gravity team, you will be 100% satisfied

  This operation is a class act. Very professional, and they take safety seriously. Our guide, Garry, was fantastic. He gave us frequent and detailed information about what to expect and... read more what to watch out for. Look no further.

  Our trip to Bolivia wouldn’t be complete without this awesome experience. Huge thanks to the Gravity team for the professionalism and fun! And especially to our guides: Chris for making... read more us feel comfortable and his quick help with any issue on the road (flat tire, etc: 2 min - done!) and being our team paparazzi and Garry for clear guidance, great company, wonderful storytelling, sense of humor and all the help: during and after the trip. You guys made us feel surrounded by a family!
