The Death Road is, without a doubt, the most hyped up mountain biking route in the world. It’s been labeled as the “world’s most dangerous road”, and allegedly claimed 200 to 300 lives each year in the past. Documentaries have covered it. Every backpacker in South America speaks of it.

A ride guaranteed to be fast and furious […]
