Bolivia rewards riders who are comfortable on gravel and used to altitude, though the seven tours on this page cover a real range of difficulty. The 10-day Jesuit Mission route runs mostly on light, well-graded gravel through the Chiquitania and is a fair introduction if your offroad hours are limited. The Wild West, Amazonia and the 19-day route through Bolivia's extreme landscapes ask for confident riding on loose gravel, sand and the switchbacks of the Death Road, plus the stamina to handle altitude above 3,700 metres at the Salar de Uyuni.
You ride the rental Suzuki DR650SE included in the tour price on every one of our Bolivia-only routes, fuel and SOAT insurance covered; bringing your own motorcycle is not an option on these trips. Riding days vary by tour and terrain: on the Amazonia route alone, stages run from 105 to 375 kilometres, with up to 40 percent offroad on the jungle tracks toward Rurrenabaque.
Each day starts with a briefing on the stage ahead, then several hours in the saddle on asphalt, gravel or the salt crust of the Salar de Uyuni. You sleep in double rooms in hotels or guesthouses along the route, and from three riders onward a support vehicle with a mechanic carries the luggage; every tour also runs with a multilingual, medically trained guide.

Bolivia rides best in the dry season, May to October, when the Altiplano and the Salar de Uyuni stay firm and dust-dry. Outside that window, rain turns high-plateau gravel to mud and can close Amazon lowland tracks. Nights above 3,700 metres on the Salar stay cold year-round, so pack layers regardless of season.
