Meet at 7.30 in the morning at the workshop in La Paz and you will get your bike and riding gear sorted before heading out of La Paz in the southern foothills. The high altitude desert flows out along several beautiful valleys with breathtaking views of La Paz and her surrounding mountains. Your guide will choose the trails according to your expertise level, starting it off easy on a warm-up trail and building up to the best trails in the area where you can challenge yourself as much as you feel comfortable. Watch out for the sheep whose herders bring them to feed on these hills as you make your way through small villages, seemingly untouched by time. We will be back in La Paz late in the afternoon, at around 18.00.
