Going to La Paz tomorrow, and considering the Death Road for Wednesday.
However, totally astonished it costs up to 750 Bs for what appears to amount to half a day's bike rental and some transport, in a country where 150 Bs will buy you a night's private accom.
Curious how they maintain such high prices? Is it essentially a cartel?
Now I know the surroundings will be spectacular, but the tour companies don't own that do they?
Isn't worth it? Can we get decent bikes and transport far more cheaply (as you could even in the world's richest countries)?
Thanks
