At the police checkpoint (after 45 min.) all visitors pay Bs. 50 for the entrance to the national park. This first stretch is for you to gain confidence and get used to the bike. Don't worry, the security van is always behind the group and we have stops for water, photos and bike checks. Point 2: 'Death Road' about 10 Km. always in a compact group (safety first!!!!) and also snack time. Point 3: About 32 Km. starts with a splashing waterfall !!!! Finally, the end of the ride is in Yolosa, so the next stop is at a hotel with showers, pool and also a buffet lunch. At approximately 05:00 p.m. it is time to return to La Paz driving on the new road. At the end of the 'Death Road Tour' the guide will drop you off at the bus office to take your bus from La Paz to Uyuni. **Bring your luggage because you will not return to your hotel.
