Tour

120 km, asphalt, altitude: 1050 m

We take over the Enfields in the morning, and then the adventure begins: we leave Santa Cruz behind as we pass through the surrounding settlements.

We ascend to new heights in the jungle until we reach Samaipata, where we spend the night.

This day is all about getting used to the bikes before hitting the more challenging terrain.

179 km, mixed terrain, altitude: 2346 m

After a relaxing morning at the family farm, mixed terrain and exceptional roads are waiting for us as we head towards La Higuera, famous for being the place where Che Guevara was captured in 1967.

We spend the night in the accommodation created from the old telegraph house, where the operator informed the authorities about Che Guevara's appearance.

137 km, terrain, altitude: 2080 m

We traverse new landscapes along mountain trails offering dizzying views and over a long, winding river below, until we reach the small town of Padilla, where we can glimpse the slow-paced life of the Bolivian countryside, far from the usual tourist centers.

175 km, mixed terrain, altitude: 2810 m

We continue winding along spectacular roads, crossing the passes of the Andes, as the landscape around us changes dramatically while we descend into the lower jungle valleys.

From there, we head towards the picturesque hills of Sucre, one of Bolivia’s two capitals, also known as the White City due to its well-preserved colonial architecture.

In this city, rich in history, we enjoy the local culture, the flourishing art and music scene, and of course, the local cuisine.

155 km, asphalt, altitude: 4067 m

After breakfast, we set out on our scenic route through rocky mountains, valleys, and along rivers, taking us to an altitude of over 4000 meters.

We reach Cerro Rico, a mountain that produced 60% of the world's mined silver in the 16th century.

Depending on the group's interest, we will participate in a mine tour in Potosí, which was once the richest city in the world.

205 km, asphalt, altitude: 3700 m

We continue our journey on long curvy mountain roads of exceptional quality until we finally reach the huge Altiplano.

We spend the afternoon among the ruined steel giants of the train cemetery on the highlands, and along the way we can dip into natural hot springs.

We stay for two nights next to the Salar de Uyuni, in the world's first and most famous salt hotel.

We spend an unforgettable rest day in Salar de Uyuni, a 4085 km2 salt flat that stretches over the ancient, dried-up Minchin Lake.

We enjoy motorcycling in the endless whiteness and have lunch in the middle of the desert next to a cactus-lined former volcanic island.

500 km, asphalt, altitude: 3700 m

We head North and dive further into the unusual beauty of the Bolivian highlands.

Quinoa plantations, vicuñas, herds of llamas and snow-capped mountain peaks accompany us as we continue our journey towards La Paz, the highest capital in the world, which is located in a bowl-shaped valley among the snowy peaks of the Andes.

Thanks to its eclectic architecture, bustling markets and street vendors, we get to know the rich culture of the indigenous people up close before delving into the vibrant nightlife.

105 km, asphalt, altitude: 1680 m

After a lazy morning we reach Coroico with a short ride, a small town with a cheerful atmosphere surrounded by green mountains.

We enjoy the special view, the local culture and relax before heading to the infamous Death Road the next day.

100 km, mixed terrain, altitude: 3700 m

Death Road took its victims until the mid-1990s when a new road was built on the other side of the valley.

Therefore, this single-lane road, where waterfalls cascade down from the 1000-meter-high cliffs, is now only traveled by adventurers like us who are specifically looking for this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

After conquering it, we descend back to La Paz, where we spend our last night.

We take domestic flights back to Santa Cruz, where we say goodbye and return home with unforgettable memories.
