Bolivia Motorcycle Trip: The Highlander Two

Set off on a journey, 20 days through Bolivia on a motorcycle! Exactly the right tour for those motorcyclists who enjoy venturing off the asphalt roads. We will travel along the Ruta del Ché to Sucre, passing by wonderful landscapes. A highlight is the largest salt flat in the world, the Salar de Uyuni, and the highest road in the world. Adventure awaits you! For those who want to see all the highlights of our Bolivia motorcycle trip. There will be a lot of off-roading, but the poor asphalt roads of Bolivia are often also a challenge, but no reason to feel insecure. With us, you will safely navigate the roads: Adventure trip Bolivia!! From 450m to 5,800m and back. A selection of the best motorcycle roads. Starting from the Ruta del Ché, we make our way to Sucre, the capital of Bolivia. We ascend further and reach the highest city in the world and the oldest silver mines in the world. Next, we will visit the largest salt lake in the world, the definitely highest road at 5,800m, and the most dangerous road on the planet, as well as the highest navigable lake in the world. The hot springs in Sajama Vulcan National Park offer us welcome relaxation at 4,250m. A tour full of extremes and undoubtedly one of the most beautiful motorcycle trips in South America. A journey in Bolivia is more than just a trip – it is an expedition. Due to socio-economic problems, ecological circumstances, fuel shortages, as well as political and economic challenges, our previous trips can no longer be carried out in the same way. Nevertheless, through our close connections and an experienced tour guide, we can still enable an expedition even in difficult times. However, it is important to remain flexible, as the local situation can change quickly and thus also affect schedules and routes.

Daily program: The Highlander Two: Bolivia in all its extremes!

Day 1: Pickup at Viru Viru Airport, Santa Cruz

You are about to embark on one of the most exciting motorcycle trips in South America! We will pick you up at the airport in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. From there, we will drive to the small town of Samaipata (120km, 3-hour drive). We will check into a comfortable hotel and unwind for the day. If your flight arrives later, we will spend a night in Santa Cruz. In that case, Day 1 will begin the following day.

Day 2: Samaipata

Our motorcycle journey through Bolivia begins today! We will start with a briefing where we will learn more about our route, the local 'traffic rules', and get to know each other. To familiarize ourselves with the motorcycles, we will take an excursion to the archaeological site El Fuerte, a small Inca town declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This was built around the still older and largest stone sculpture in America.

Day 3: La Higuera

In the morning we stop in Villagrande to see the hospital's laundry where the lifeless body of Ernesto Che Guevara was presented to the world in 1967. After lunch, we continue our journey towards the small mountain village of La Higuera, the place where Che was captured and executed. Along the way, we may see condors, the largest birds in the world. Before reaching our hotel, we have the opportunity to make a detour for a breathtaking view. In the evening, we listen to Don Juan's experiences from the time of the guerrilla war around the campfire. 175 km, 50% off-road

Day 4: Villa Serrano

After leaving the school building where Che Guevara was executed, we head towards Villa Serrano. We will have a picnic on the suspension bridge over the Rio Grande, and if conditions are good, you can also take a swim. By afternoon we reach Villa Serrano, the capital of Charango music. The Charango is a small plucked instrument (smaller than the ukulele) that is not easy to play. 120km, 100% off-road.

Day 5: Sucre

We leave Villa Serrano early in the morning to visit the Tarabuco Sunday market. This is the only place where we can take pictures of traditionally dressed locals without them turning away. After lunch, we continue our journey towards Bolivia's capital, Sucre. You can explore the city for the rest of the day. The entire city center of this colonial city is painted white and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 190km, 30% off-road.

Day 6: Potosí

We leave Sucre early in the morning. On smooth asphalt, we ascend towards the Altiplano (high plains) until we reach Potosí, the highest city in the world at 4,100 meters above sea level. During the ascent, the guides will provide instructions on how to deal with the altitude. In the afternoon, we visit the miner’s market where you can purchase everything from coca leaves to dynamite. Here we can buy some interesting souvenirs. Then we continue to the mines where we will descend equipped into the belly of Pacha Mama (Mother Earth) to visit the 500-year-old still operating silver mine. Not recommended for people with claustrophobia: of course, on this motorcycle trip, we do not shy away from adventures. 155km, 0% off-road.

Day 7: Uyuni

We ride through incredible landscapes and stop at a spectacular canyon. After passing some small villages, we stop to look for vicuñas (a type of camel), emus, and thousands of llamas. Finally, we reach the small mining town of Pulacayo, where we walk around the old train station, past the mine entrance and climb onto the train cars that American outlaws Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid used to enter Bolivia 110 years ago. Our next stop is in Uyuni, where we visit the train graveyard, a fantastic collection of discarded railway machines from the 19th century. 205 km, 5% off-road.

Day 8: Salar de Uyuni motorcycle trip! the largest salt flat in the world

The Salar de Uyuni is a dry salt lake larger than Lower Bavaria. There are no trees, houses, or mountains, and because there are only 2 colors (blue sky and white salt) you have absolutely no sense of scale. You can take insane photos. On the way to Incahuasi cactus island, we visit the salt market, the flag monument, the salt hotel, and of course the Dakar monument. This motorcycle trip is designed to give you the complete picture of Bolivia, and for motorsport fans, the Dakar monument must not be missed. 195 km, 90% off-road, mostly salt.

Day 9: Oruro

We take our motorcycle and in the morning leave Salar de Uyuni behind us. Passing picturesque desert landscapes of the Altiplano and several small villages, we head to Oruro, famous for its markets and grill restaurants. The evening grilling will be a delight but first, we will witness a strange phenomenon, which will not be revealed here. 320km, 0% off-road.

Day 10: Copacabana, Lake Titicaca

To avoid the chaotic traffic in El Alto, we take the newly built highway as a shortcut to Lake Titicaca. We cross the crystal blue water to the Copacabana peninsula via a pontoon and enjoy the view of the snow-capped mountains above the clear blue lake. 360 km, 20% off-road.

Day 11: Island of the Sun and Island of the Moon

Today we exchange our motorcycles for a boat and visit two legendary islands from Inca times. On the Island of the Sun, we take a short hike with fantastic views of the snow-capped mountains bordering Lake Titicaca. On the Island of the Moon, we visit the ruins of the temple of the Moon maiden.

Day 12: La Paz

This morning we leave Lake Titicaca and arrive in La Paz by afternoon. There it is possible to visit the witch market where you can buy everything from potions, amulets to mummified llama embryos. In the evening we can watch the changing of the guard at the presidential palace. 145 km, 0% off-road.

Day 13: The Death Road: a real motorcycle adventure!

From La Paz, we ride to Coroico on a road that was once considered the most dangerous road in the world. The descent into the tropical Yungas region offers magnificent views, and if we slow down our motorcycle speed, we also have a good chance of arriving safely in Coroico. For the truly brave, we end the day with a 500m long zipline adventure. After that, it's just a 45-minute ride to the hotel pool. Don't be afraid, our motorcycle trip will always be accompanied by the best guides trained to ensure the highest level of safety. 85km, 80% off-road.

Day 14: Chulumani

We leave Coroico and follow narrow, unpaved mountain roads through Yungas, known for the coca plantation. Passing small picturesque mountain villages, we arrive in Chulumani around noon. Now we have time to swim in the pool and explore the chaotic trade center of Yungas. Now it’s time to relax, but not too much, it’s just a break in your motorcycle adventures! 78km, 100% off-road.

Day 15: Chulumani to Quime

Today we have another day of narrow, unpaved roads with gorges, crossing rivers, and passing small settlements. The last hour before our arrival in Quime, we ride on a small winding gorge road with stunning views. Quime is a mining town located among massive mountains. Our hotel and dinner are very simple but also very Bolivian. A great experience for every motorcyclist. 195km, 100% off-road.

Day 16: Cochabamba

After a traditional breakfast, we leave Quime. At a cult site, we offer cigarettes, alcohol, and of course coca leaves to the local patron saint. On winding roads with stunning views, we ride up to 4,400m before descending into the valley of Cochabamba. After we master the traffic, we dive into the hustle and bustle of the Plaza and go to Café Cortado. For dinner, we treat ourselves to the traditional dish Pique Macho. 315km, 10% off-road.

Day 17: Totora

In the morning we visit, in Cochabamba, the largest Christo sculpture in South America. At almost 40m, it is a bit taller than the famous Christo statue in Rio de Janeiro. After that, we will leave the city to enjoy fresh fish for lunch and head towards Totora, a small colonial town in the mountains where time seems to have stood still for 100 years. 145 km, 0% off-road.

Day 18: Samaipata

The last day with the motorcycle is upon us, and we will immediately ride on an 80km long stone road. After passing through the valley of the Rio Mizque, the landscape becomes wide and colorful, but the road is demanding. In the afternoon we reach Samaipata again via a beautiful road through the mountains. We park the motorcycles and look forward to a swim in the pool. 265km, 40% off-road.

Day 19: Santa Cruz

In the late afternoon, we make our way to Santa Cruz, where we can still buy some souvenirs. We spend the evening at a cozy farewell dinner, reminiscing about the past days.

Day 20: Back to the airport

Our journey ends here, and we say goodbye. Be happy, you have experienced one of the most beautiful motorcycle trips in South America! But who knows, maybe you will come back. You will not be the first! The OVERCROSS tour operator team will miss you!

What distinguishes our Bolivia motorcycle tour:

We believe that we offer the best value for motorcycle travel in Bolivia. Our tours are exploratory adventure journeys that combine breathtaking routes with authentic experiences in the country. The fun in the group is the focus, whether on the motorcycle or during sightseeing.

Safety is our main concern, and we do everything to minimize risks. On the second day, there is a two-hour introduction to the specifics of riding in Bolivia and the safe handling of our Suzuki DR650SE 2024 dual sport motorcycles.

Our daily stages are calculated so that even in case of technical problems, such as a flat tire, the daily destination is reached before sunset. We do not ride double stages and always offer a rest or half rest day during the tour. Long driving times of more than eight hours and riding after sunset are considered risky and not fun.

Regular breaks every one to two hours allow us to take photos, receive explanations, or simply enjoy the scenery. We consider the age, fitness, and interests of our guests, such as photographers, and adjust the driving style accordingly.

Our tours are carried out with Suzuki DR650SE motorcycles that are specially equipped with a 20-liter tank, luggage rack, and USB connection. If you would like to learn more about our Bolivia journeys, feel free to contact us!
