Welcome to Bolivia! On your arrival in La Paz we'll meet you at El Alto International Airport and transfer to your hotel for check-in.

Are you ready to cycle on the World's Most Dangerous Road? Actually, it is much less dangerous than before as very few cars use it nowadays. Today we head out of La Paz en route to the Yungas Cloud Forest region. We will begin our descent at the highest point of our adventure, at La Cumbre (4300 masl), where we set off on mountain bikes with all the protection necessary to the humid cloud forest region known as Los Yungas. You will (very safely!) descend from the cordillera along the so-called "Death Road" toward Coroico, the provincial capital of North Yungas. After having a typical lunch and some time to enjoy the pool, we'll go to the provincial capital of Coroico for check-in at the hotel.

After breakfast, we will go to Tocaña, an Afro-Bolivian community where most of the residents are coca leaf farmers. The coca leaf is one of the Yungas region's most important crops, and while it is known internationally as an ingredient of cocaine, the leaf has many other uses and is an integral part of Bolivian culture. On this special visit to Tocaña, you'll meet with farmers and learn about local culture, music, foods, and nature. After lunch, we will return to your hotel in La Paz.

It is an early start again with breakfast at 6:00 am after which we leave the lodge and head to the town of Santa Rosa de Yucuma, located in a unique ecoregion composed of grasslands and riverine forests known as the Beni Pampas, adjacent to the tropical rainforests of Madidi. Along the way, we will have opportunities to see sloths, birds, and other animals common to this region. Once in Santa Rosa, we again travel by boat along the Yacuma River to our eco-lodge. After we settle in and have lunch, we begin our first river safari, where we'll be able to see a diversity of animal species along the river. We will see dozens (if not hundreds!) of species of animals, including caimans, capybaras, turtles, birds, and, if the season is right, the beautiful, pink river dolphins that live in this wonderful place. We'll be back at our lodge by the end of the day and have time for a well-deserved rest.
