RE: Bolivia Part 8 - Riding down the Death Road by bike Stop 6-12 (Fotos + Video)

If you are afraid of heights, this spot is your final enemy.

It's no wonder to be nervous in such a dangerous place, and also when it's raining and with all that rain brings... mmmm.... and wet sunglasses... I know what it feels like.
No, it doesn't help to see that someone died there. I'm reading and answering hahaha.... More creepy stories!!! oh my god... I wouldn't have gone to the van at that stage of the journey, but I'm sure I'd be crazy for it to be over. Lol.

My conclusions.

The animal shelter is a very noble cause, I admire them. And also Gravity for helping to fund it. The experience is tremendous, I love it... and I believe that with a good disposition and being careful and attentive it can be achieved. You did it and many more too and now you can tell about it. Adrenaline will help to get through. It's a great experience, I repeat, and I am very glad that you had that exclusive opportunity, to be in that place, go through that challenging trail, feel the fear, those sensations and sounds, to be close to the clouds, enjoy the breathtaking views... it's life summed up in one ride on the death trail!

Haha thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts on the blog @nanixxx! It was fun to read yours as well.

For me it was the same. I would never have gone in the van... it looked so much more dangerous on the van and we knew that most accidents happened actually for them and not the bikers 😅 - so the Van would have been hell for me. The bike I can control myself.. well at least I can try.. but its within my hands (much better 🤣)

The animal shelter was a great ending of the trip! You can see that they are there for the animals 100%. Places like that are so important.

Of course, it can be achieved. It's not too bad. Its a long and dangerous road. But you drive through 4 clima zones 3000meters downhill in 4 hrs. It is such a great experience! Just make sure you have good guides with you and that you are in good condition as you say - then everything will be fine 😅

It´s a day you´ll never forget 😎
