Bolivia's Death Road and Black Magic (S3:E67)

[@csjmoore]

We usually watch you two via YT on TV, however; we felt compelled to comment here of the La Paz section of the video. I have been in La Paz several times during my 8 years of journeys south of Mexico and found the "brebaje de brujas" section the most interesting since it tied together another episode. This whole presentation S3:E67 was excellent and hit my sweet spot of entertainment. I found you late in my YT experience and became captivated by you and everything you do. So here is to you and your channel and the experiences you will present to us. Cheers.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Wow!! Well, first off, thank you so much for your kind words and for supporting the channel! Secondly, I'm especially glad that, having been to La Paz yourself, you enjoyed and appreciated the episode. It can be daunting to explore subjects that some might consider controversial or disrespectful. Especially considering how much we love Bolivia! I'm glad you enjoyed the episode, and thank you again for supporting the channel!!

[@xfiltrate]

You nailed it. Great photography, narration/music , content and emotion. Ride hard, ride free

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Thanks so much!! 🍻

[@travelingRonman]

Man I'm not a biker but I do love a good story and spectacular scenery. Bolivia wasn't on my list of countries to visit but I might just have to add it. So many great things in this series. I think what makes this channel stand out is the great storytelling. Captivating, edge of your seat entertainment.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Thank you for that! Yes, if you have the opportunity to visit Bolivia, you will not regret it. We appreciate you taking the time to reach out. 👍🇧🇴👍

[@Wheels2Dirt]

Wow. Not a great place for mechanical issues. Looking forward to the next episode.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Ha ha... yeah, definitely a cliffhanger in the most literal sense! 😁

[@Cosmoo6208]

Good to see you had some clutch left. I sure thought it was a goner. The ride and stories around La Paz were absolutely amazing and intriguing. This was an experience I will not forget. Your videos are just so interesting, what great work.. Happy trails to you, God Speed.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Yup... I was just able to barely squeeze enough out of the clutch to get us home. And of course, letting the bike cool down a bit certainly didn't hurt!! Thank you for the kind words and for supporting the channel!! 💪

[@DirtyRed36-z2u]

Great stuff you two! Editing and storytelling are top notch. Thank you for taking me along on your epic ride!

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Thank you for joining us and for the kind words!! 🍻

[@HondaGuy-cj1db]

First time commenting after watching the whole video, glad you were able to get the clutch going, traffic in La Paz seems to be worse than any traffic that I have seen, very crazy about the Pachamama rituals.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Thanks for watching, we hope you enjoyed it! Yeah, overall, we give Bolivia a 9/10 on the Adventure scale!

[@jacob7960]

Somehow I discovered this video. I started to watch it then realized I am missing a lot of a backstory. I paused this video to watch S3:E66 and was slightly caught up on how this started. Great content. I appreciate the closed captions. You earned a new subscriber.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Awesome! Thank you for the kind words & welcome to the channel! 🍻

[@-W8WHAT]

I stumbled across Chad and Rose, and am still going through their older episodes.... Top shelf quality channel 👌

[@uponthepegs]

Another thrilling episode….. fascinating recount too.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Thank you. We're glad you enjoyed it!!

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Ha ha... that's what we like to hear!! 😁

[@charliem5332]

You guys are so cool about it all! I can't begin to imagine being the pillion on that road

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Me neither!! I (Chad) don't like being a pillion at all. Had I been in Rose's boots, I would have walked!! 🤣

[@stevekeddington4382]

What an episode So much happened Many thanks

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Yeah, Bolivia packs a punch for sure!! Thanks for watching!!!

[@bullaschonken521]

Thank you!!! 🖤

[@cmoreoverland6739]

90 seconds in and I love you guys...Why do I instantly want to be there in my 4Runner? Can't wait.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Ha ha... thank you!! Hopefully, the Death Road reopens for four-wheeled traffic someday. A couple of the tour operators we spoke with in La Paz made it seem doubtful...

[@kwik2008]

What a trip 🙈. Great footage, thanks for sharing 😊👍🙏

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Thank you!! It's even better in person... 😉

[@stevekeddington4382]

Very well written and narrated as well

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Thank you - we try!! ☺️

[@stephenscott6570]

My son was toring South America countries last year. He rode down some road, that is claimed to be most dangerous road, in Bolivia on a bicycle. Said there was 6,000 ft elevation change from top to bottom.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

That's the Death Road! All the truth told, I think the elevation loss is closer to 9k ft.

[@samuellai9587]

Really enjoy watching it. Really not easy to operate motorcycle 🏍️ 👍👏💯

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Thank you! The major issue with the Africa Twin is the operator... 😁

[@RonKoppelmann]

[@nokidding152]

Hell yeah I've been waiting for this one! Let me grab the popcorn!

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

We hope it was worth the wait!! 🍿

[@andrewthacker114]

Called Death Road for a good reason. Thanks for sharing. Inca rituals pretty strange.Nice cable car network.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

DEATH TRAIL!!! 😅

[@lessmore444]

Massive tourist signs welcoming you to where you might soon die, awesome! Caught myself leaning left just watching that….Balls mate, well played!

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Anything for a buck!!! Which is probably why the death road will never reopen to four-wheel traffic. There's not a whole lot of money to be made on independent overlanders. It's all mountain bike tours now... Thanks for joining us on the ride!

[@idratherberiding3456]

La Paz, what a city. Now, after watching your video, I have to pay a visit to that crazy city.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

It's definitely worth a stop! Such a unique city and setting!!

[@fuscavw1]

Killer video, as usual.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Thank you!!

[@datinlynda5016]

thanks...fascinating tours

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@yosam5184]

Another great video, my goodness don't know whether I'd rather be on the Death Road or in La Paz. Can't imagine drinking myself into a cornerstone...LOL!

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Yeah... the live human sacrifice thing kind of caught me off guard. When researching the piece, I found a video online of a local tour guide who had just clawed his way out of the earth after being buried alive at one of the festivals... 😬

[@danielliebenberg7739]

I’m all for adventure, but I nearly had to put on a clean pair of pants after watching the Death Road section. I was expecting you to go hunt for a new clutch the moment you entered La Paz. Hope you can squeeze some more miles out of it. I recall you building/installing a new clutch several videos ago. How many km’s/miles did you get out of that one ? Ride safe.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Ha ha... didn't mean to make you soil your skivvies!! 😅 We're actually still running the same clutch plates. I picked up a spare kit just in case, but haven't had to install them yet... Go figure!

[@tigercoward]

Death Road! You made it. Honestly, LA Paz scares me more than the Death Road. (Feel free to hit a Coward joke here) Although the crowded streets reminded me a little of Yellowstone last week. Lol. Thanks for the witches market, lama fetuses, and human skulls. Very interesting! You are the best channel on the webasphere! Stay awesome.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

I agree wholeheartedly. The only thing that made the Death Road at all challenging was road construction through the landslide. That said, one false move, and that's it. A solo rider I crossed the Darien Gap with in 2019 disappeared in this very region, never to be heard from again. Some suspected foul play, others that he intended to disappear. But there are way too many roads like the North Yungas that will swallow you whole if you make a mistake. BUT... Yellowstone might be the most dangerous of all!! Anytime there is wildlife near the road, people are too busy trying to take photos to bother looking where they're going. I've almost been run over multiple times in Yellowstone! Beautiful indeed, but way too crowded the wrong time of year!! 😪

[@andrewlong5444]

Wow, good move keeping left against cliff face, what a road, worth it, well done. If there was ever a reason to embrace sobriety knowing about 'Pachamama' practices would suffice 🙂NZ

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Ha ha... yeah, no doubt. Realizing you might end up as part of the foundation after a hard night out is good reason to put down the hooch!! 😬

[@lesterhutchins1621]

Looking like gravy .but I'm thinking about 30 years ago .nice going

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

On a moto, gravy all day... In a passenger bus trying to squeeze past a box truck coming the other direction... not so much!!! 😳

[@Whatreally123]

I first heard of the Death Road on Top Gear. Seems amazing to ride. Anyone who is into this kind of riding and adventure, I'd encourage you checkout the "Cliffhanger section on Killar-Kishtwar Road (now closed)" and "Sach Pass" both in India. Amazing routes.

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Yeah, it's definitely a "bucket list" road for a lot of people, and where a lot of people also (unfortunately) kicked the bucket!!! The Himalayas are at the top of our "where next" list, so I'll definitely check those out!! 👍

[@kevinbowers3917]

Great trip. I personally feel that plastic stickers plastered everywhere is just graffiti without the spray can and will be a liability for the sport in the future. Cheers,ed

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

Thank you! You know... I can't argue regarding the stickers. Obviously, there are a lot of businesses that not only allow but encourage you to place your stickers. But when it comes to road signs and the like, I tend to either place or sticker on the signpost or the back so as not to obscure the sign itself.

[@kevinbowers3917]

@@TwoWheelsThreeSheets not Karen, just a thought. I saw some National Forest signs plastered and thought "this ain't good, and calls attention." I sure hope the masses joining the hobby care as much as y'all do about 'cleaner than we came.' Kudos on the life's journey, it takes a couple of brass pairs if you get me. Cheers from Appalachia VA. back roads.

I was in a Cementerio de Elefantes. I went there to buy chicha for our restaurant. Hardcore drinkers but nice people. They were drinking in silence. Bizarre place

[@TwoWheelsThreeSheets]

It's amazing that so many people flat out refuse to believe they exist. We spoke to a man whose nephew disappeared in one a few years ago. Very sad...
