With its dramatic landscapes and thrilling routes, Bolivia offers some of the most thrilling destinations for motorcycle enthusiasts. Here are a few must-visit spots for your next adventure:
The most famous destination for a Motorcycle Tour in Bolivia is, without a doubt, the Salar de Uyuni, the world’s largest salt flat. The surreal expanse of white stretches as far as the eye can see, offering a unique riding experience. Not to mention, it offers awesome photo opportunities.
At the edge of the Salar, Incahuasi Island is a cactus-covered outcrop, that also offers stunning views. It can be reached via a road made of salt.
Prefer more serene landscapes? In other parts of the Altiplano, the world’s second-largest high-altitude plateau, you’ll encounter breathtaking views of snow-capped mountains, serene lakes, and open roads that stretch for miles. The tranquil beauty of the area, combined with its sense of remoteness, creates an unparalleled riding experience.
Or maybe you want to venture off-the-beaten-path? The Laguna Route, near the Chilean border, is a rugged adventure through the same endless Altiplano. You’ll ride past stunning green, turquoise, and red salt lagoons, geysers, and volcanoes.
If it’s an adrenaline-pumping experience you’re after, the infamous Death Road is a must-ride. The treacherous mountain road descends from the snowy peaks of the Andes into the lush Yungas rainforest. Known for its sheer drops and narrow paths, it’s one of the most thrilling motorcycle routes in the world and an excellent choice for seasoned riders.
Thanks to the country’s diverse geography, the weather can vary significantly from one place to another. However, generally speaking, to get the most out of your Motorcycle Tour in Bolivia, it’s a good idea to plan your trip during the dry season - from May to October. During these months, the roads are in better condition.
What could make it challenging when planning an ideal your trip is that the summer season in Bolivia (November to March) is when the country gets the most rain. So, particularly in regions like the Salar de Uyuni and the Death Road, rain can make the roads dangerous or impassable.
Whether you’d like to experience the surreal salt flats or the exhilarating mountain roads, join a Motorcycle Tour in Bolivia and make your riding dreams come true!
