Hey Miguel! So glad you found the article useful I’d rate the physical demand of the Death Road around a 4 or 5 out of 10, mostly downhill, so not super strenuous, but you do need to stay focused the whole way. The altitude can definitely hit some people, but if you’re already in good shape, you should be totally fine. As for other ways to explore it, there are some tour companies that let you ride along in a support vehicle if you don’t want to bike. Might be worth asking around when you’re booking! Let me know how it goes, it’s such an epic experience!

Just read through the article as I’m planning on doing the Death Road myself. How physically demaning would you rate it on a scale from 1 to 10?

I’m in preetty good shape but as we all know the altitude tends to shift one’s perception of “fit”.

Also did you manage to find any other options of exploring the Death Road? Bus for example.

Thank you!
