Some people also ask if they can start a Death Road tour when they arrive in La Paz from an overnight bus from some other city such as Uyuni, Sucre, Potosi or Santa Cruz. These buses generally arrive in La Paz around 7.00 am but of course can vary. The leaving time for the Death Road tours is 7.30 am prompt and at least 15/20 mins away from the bus terminal. So the high risk you will miss the tour (and lose your payment as it is a no show) plus the fact you will be tired from the journey most likely means we strongly recommend you don't try to do this. It would be completely at your own risk if you did.
