Did you ever think of pedaling around Bolivia? This landlocked South American nation is not without its cycling routes!

For the beginning bicycle tourist, the Mirador de Aves NorEste is graded as Easy; and the starting point is accessible by public transit. Most of the surfaces on this 23-mile route are paved; but this is a high-altitude route!  While the riding might be easy as far as distance and gradient go, the altitude would be tough for me!

I see that some of the rides on the list are graded “Moderate”; but they also specify, “Good fitness required”. As always, I wonder exactly what that means! 

Looking for an expert-level trip? Consider the Laguna Pacajes Loop. This route is 29.3 miles long; and incudes some unpaved segments. In all, there is 3975 feet of climbing; and very good fitness is needed. But if you love uphill riding, this one might be for you.

The climate of Bolivia is humid and tropical in many areas. Don’t forget the rain gear! Learn a bit about the country’s culture.

Bolivia is, as of July 2026, under a Level 2 travel alert. I’m not sure whether such warnings pertain mainly to urban areas; or anywhere in the country. It’s such a pity; must we be paranoid to go bicycle touring?
