An amazing new ride

The South Yungas Riding Challenge: A contemplative bicycle adventure throughout the paradaise.

After just 20 kilometers on paved road, you will approach the dirt 4x4 road to your final destiny... Chulumani! Once you leave bihind the highway, the carved by dinamite mountains covered by tropicla forest soround your path.

Sounds and cries of tropicla animals and insects begin to resonate in the air, far away from the cosmopilitan cities you are used to. Tropical flowers, banana, coffee and coca plantations grow in the mountain forest.

You are the loner explorer or a paradisiacal place, an almost forgotten piede of earth. The demanding fitness exercise adds up t the whole experience and the ride becomes a contemplative bicycle adventure. Dust covers all of your face and warm moist air is breathed.

Do you dare to bath in fresh puddle where The Lovers waterfall ends? Or chase The Bride Veil waterfall in your camera? Spot exotic birds visit the Phantom Castle. Continue ahead until the bride called Puente Villa that splits the downhill from the uphill section up to Chulumani sets the end of the bike ride.

From there to Chulumani, a few twisted sections remain until the end of the jouney.

A ghostly ride...

Built in the 1930s by the former Bolivian president Luis Tejada Sorzano a dreamlike castle raises in the middle of the tropical lands called Saouth Yungas.

It was the beloved Tejada's place where in warm nights he used to play the flute an get into the nearby forest to be found by his sweetheart thanks to the sound of the melodies played.

Natives of this area and house guests still belive the have seen the ghostly Tejada's figure walking inside the building or listened the melancholic sound of a flute coming from the surrounding woods...

An epic ride and an unforgettable experience!!!

Bside mentioned in a New York Times article

We got the pleasure to announce that our company B-Side Adventures has been recommended as one of the two best reputation companies in Bolivia in a New York Times article released on August 10th, 2008. We thank all of your support and the link to this news is on

WARNING!!!

Safe, professional mountain bike companies invest and reinvest on high quality bike parts, employ trustable guides an focus on details that enhance the client security and joy. To deliver a reasonable service we must contribute funds to keep a bicycle in excellet shape and bring a guide who know well the road hazards and backs you. Overall, to protect you from harm and preserve your life. What would be more important then you? Not some bucks, of course.

On rainy season, a bicycle in challenged to their limits. Every part suffers more than ususal: breaks, gears, tires, suspension, increasing maintenance costs. Guiding continues pleasant but tougher. Bringing an appropriate service is feasible but costlier. If we do not cover expenses, your bike and our service will suffer and so will your riding, posing unneeded risks to your personal wellness. It may be noticed that in rainy season the most prestigious companies, responsibly release new price schemes in order to keep their quality service and safe guard people.

Although Bolivia has earned the "cheap country" title, reputation that fills the traveler guide sheets but risks tourists unaware of hidden threats behind a "great offer", it does not imply that a cheap price migth deliver you a better service or at least the same service level than the more than the more expensive ones. You get what you pay, wherever you are.
