Alistair Matthew owns Gravity Bolivia, offering Death Road Bike Tours from La Paz. It was an honor to be given a personal tour of his bikes and workshops, with an explanation of the lengths to which his company goes to ensure the safety of Death road bikers. Got to meet his personnel and bike tour guides who are themselves expert bikers. A lot of time, effort and money is invested in this company to offer you the tour safely.

Thank you to Juan Fernandez Bocangel, a childhood friend, for sharing the above video. He now works for the same organization my parents worked with when we were children. In this video you'll see what it's like to drive Death Road and cross a dangerous wooden hanging bridge (by car!), and you'll get to see the town of Caranavi, which I mentioned on our Death Road Home Page. He's taken great footage of the surrounding jungles and mountains, rivers and villages as well.
