the death route.... the route from La Paz to Coroico by bicicle!!!
Hi friends,
I did a nice one day trip, next to my friends Leo, Lawrence and Jack. By the way, Leo is the leader of one of groups in "Rio de Janeiro, Brazil".
To all of you who likes adventure sports...This is a great challenge, you must have a bit of phisical condition (for beginners), and do not have afraid to fall down, iron nerves!!!.
Oh! i didn't explain why this route calls "the death route"...
Well, this is the old route from La Paz city to the Coroico city, it's really narrow, so years ago, the were several accidents, and a lot people passed a way, also it's a challenge; so, in sereval places of the route you can see crosses or a list of names wrote in stones; those remind the people pass away.
Nowadays, this route it's closed for cars, but it's just used for adeventure sports, mountain bike, it's the most important...
But, time to time people who rice on his/her bicicle in this route (with out take care of his/her self or do not following the guide instrucctions), also pass a way....
Even though, I did this trip two times, and I want to do it again, even I fell down this time...I do not regret a bit.
Also, something that I don't know how to explain...Is how beuty it's this route, you cross the rain forest, the trip stard in the mountains until the rain forest, you will saw a bit in the pictures
