Overview

The same private North Yungas Road mountain bike descent, extended with a zipline stop in Yolosa afterward — a series of cables over 1,500 meters long crossing the subtropical valley.

The North Yungas Road earned its 'Death Road' reputation from decades of vehicle traffic on its narrow, cliffside gravel surface, before a modern paved bypass took most through-traffic off this stretch. The mountain bike route still runs the old road's single-track cliffside sections, which carry real exposure and require full-suspension bikes, helmets, and a guide who rides the route daily. Voyzo only arranges this with operators running current safety equipment and a strong track record.

About This Tour

The same private North Yungas Road mountain bike descent, extended with a zipline stop in Yolosa afterward — a series of cables over 1,500 meters long crossing the subtropical valley. The North Yungas Road earned its 'Death Road' reputation from decades of vehicle traffic on its narrow, cliffside gravel surface, before a modern paved bypass took most through-traffic off this stretch. The mountain bike route still runs the old road's single-track cliffside sections, which carry real exposure and require full-suspension bikes, helmets, and a guide who rides the route daily. Voyzo only arranges this with operators running current safety equipment and a strong track record.

The old North Yungas Road carries its reputation from the period when it was the main route down to the Yungas lowlands. The Inter-American Development Bank gave it the 'most dangerous road' label in 1995, and a new paved route finished around 2006 took through-traffic away, which is what made it practical to cycle with a guide. The 1930s road was largely built by Paraguayan Chaco War prisoners.

Yolosa sits near the end of the descent at a much lower elevation, so the climate changes from cold, thin air to warm and humid within a single day. That change is what makes a short zipline over the valley an easy add-on.

Zipline cable lengths and number of lines vary by operator and season, so your guide can tell you the exact layout before you commit.
