Bolivia’s DEATH ROAD: Still Deadly or Overhyped? | S1E22

Описание: In this episode, I ride my motorbike down Bolivia’s infamous Death Road—once labelled the most dangerous road in the world.

With an average of 96 fatalities and 209 accidents per year back when it was filled with trucks and buses, it earned a brutal reputation. Carved into the edge of a mountain with sheer 600-meter drops, narrow 3-meter-wide sections, fog, waterfalls, landslides and tombstones to remember the fallen—it’s easy to see why. But that was then.

Today, the road is predominantly only open to mountain bikes and motorcycles. So, I had to ask myself: Is Bolivia’s Death Road still really that deadly? Or just a dramatic relic of the past?

Come along on the ride as I navigate this historically treacherous route on my DR650 and decide for yourself.

In October 2024 I sent my Suzuki DR650 on a plane from New Zealand to Argentina to embark on an open ended, solo motorcycle and climbing adventure through South America and beyond. Make sure you're subscribed if you'd like to keep up to date with my adventure as it unfolds.
