Itinerary

How To Experience a Bolivia Motorcycle Trip on a Budget

Step 1: Contact Us and tell us how many days you’d like to travel, what type of riding terrain and scenery you’d like to experience, or any specific famous sites in Bolivia that you don’t want to miss, like:

  • The Salar de Uyuni (Uyuni Salt Flat) which is the largest salt flat in the world, and can be ridden across in the dry season of June through November.
  • “El Camino de la Muerte” which is “The Road of Death” or commonly referred to as “The World’s Most Dangerous Road” due to the high percentage of fatalities that have taken place here over the years. Don’t worry though, it’s perfectly possible to travel this incredible route safely, otherwise we surely wouldn’t even mention it as an option. (It’s the crazy and reckless drivers who don’t pay attention and drive at excessive speeds who perished here, so certainly you’ll be cautious and pay attention to the edge of the road!).
  • Cities like La Paz, Sucre, Cochabamba, and Potosi are all within reach, and are host to features, architectures and histories well worth visiting.
  • The Inca culture which is still definitely alive and present in the cuisine, clothing, and lifestyles of some people in this region.

Step 2: Choose Your Motorcycle from this list of options.

Step 3: Choose Add-On Options: We always offer information on the best routes, scenery, etc. if you can tell us more about what you’re interested in, and in most cases, we also offer hotel packages, GPS usage, and perhaps some other services like ferry bookings, etc. Be prepared to answer our questions about what else you want included, aside from just the motorcycle rental, insurance, and authorizations that we automatically arrange for you.

Step 4: Reserve everything you need through RIDE Adventures! – Payable to one of our accounts in the U.S., rest assured that you’ve booked your upcoming trip through an informed, reputable, reliable, and fun provider of travel services.

Minimum Essential Gear for RIDE Training

If you're planning to jump on a guided tour or training with RIDE Adventures, it's essential that you have the right gear. This helps to ensure your safety and the safety of others while on the road.

Not being properly prepared can lead to injuires that could have been avoided. Our guides have created a Minimum Essential Gear Guide if you plan to book a RIDE Adventures. If you don't come minimally prepared there is a chance our guides will prevent you from hopping on a bike. Make sure you're prepared for the adventure.

With a power-to-weight ratio similar to the bigger models, 77hp can be used to hang with any other adventure bike on the market and perhaps be even more fun when it comes to the dirt roads and tight switchbacks.

When it's predecessor launched in 2009, the world recognized the beauty of a "middle-weight" adventure bike, perhaps most appropriately built to handle it all. The new BMW F850GS builds on a decade of riders trotting the globe on a machine with all the power you could ever need, and agility to go have almost dirt-bike-like fun when the luggage and passenger aren't along for the ride.

BMW R1200GS Adventure (2014+ Liquid Cooled)

Just a year after releasing the Liquid Cooled R1200GS, BMW's famous Adventure model or "GSA" was introduced, and for all the right reasons. Like its predecessor, the "GSA LC" as we tend to call it boasts 125 liquid cooled horsepower and has the fuel capacity and carrying capability to make the longest and most remote adventures a reality.
