It was an amazing experience, our guide Nelson was very excited about the trip which made a big difference. I was slower than the group, but I was not rushed and Nelson always made sure I was ok and was having a good time. There was a good amount of adrenaline :) Can definitely recommend!

Absolutely fantastic experience with Nelson and his team !

We started at 06:00 in the morning and biked down the road for a good few hours, stopping for breakfast, lunch and breaks regularly.

We were well looked after and I’d highly recommend these guys if you are in La Paz !
