Barracuda made a scary ride very fun - As a nervous cyclist, Barracuda couldn't have been a better choice for this bucket list ride. Cello and Alvarez were fantastic guides - professional, safe and fun. They gave clear briefings for each section, kept us all topped up with energy-boosting snacks and made sure we got all the photo memories we wanted for the day so we didn't compromise our safety. Would trust them 100% to guide me on the Death Road again

Highly recommend Barracuda!! - Amazing experience!!! Firstly, the company was very responsive already before the trip - I got speedy answers to all my questions. Secondly, the bikes and gear were top-notch, snacks and lunch and water provided. Thirdy, and most importantly, we were lucky to have Gustavo as our instructor/guide. He is clearly SO experienced - he always gave clear guidance and safety instructions and tips (he also has very good English), super friendly and helpful, always looked after his group, cracked jokes and created a warm atmosphere throughout the whole day. Very thankful for his effort and commitment! And overall, definitely can recommend this company! The only thing that needs a bit of improvement is breakfast - for me (i’m a girl) it was way too light (just one sandwich) and I remained hungry. Considering the altitude and physical effort needed, I think a slightly heavier breakfast would have been great.

Great experience! - Super fun experience!! I was scared before I started because I didn't know exactly what I was going to get into. Instead, with Gustavo's clear explanations and instructions and constant control of him and Mauricio everything went smoothly and I let myself go to the adrenaline and fun!

The bike ride of a lifetime! - This was the most exhilarating bike ride in my life ! In super safe hands too . Ruben and Christian were fantastic guiding us and explaining at each step all the safety aspects, the road is so scenic and the bikes super quality. Great organization too. The only thing I would change is not staying so long after lunch so that we get back to La Paz a bit earlier . The drive back is long and it makes it a very long day

Dying to go again - Such an exhilarating day !!! Shout out to triple M (Miguel the driver, Marcelo and Maurizio our guides) From pick up to drop off both guides made sure we had an incredible day! Great vibes, well organised and kept the energy high despite the weather. I would recommend this company to anyone looking to death road! The bikes, food and the hot shower after were fab also!!

Brilliant day and great guides! - I had an absolutely amazing time with Barracuda! The guides Christian and Reuben were so great and friendly. I was hesitant before booking as I mountain bike a lot at home and didn't want it to be too slow, but the guides were great at assessing the confidence and capabilities of the group which meant they really stretched us with the pace! It is a bit of a photoshoot to begin with but the pictures are worth it. Also a great swim to cool off afterwards and great lunch. Couldn't recommend this more!

Pure adrenaline - Fantastic experience, we walked in a group all along the carretera of the muerte and were followed by a great team led by Chelo, who also speaks excellent English and is very engaging. Bravo also Alvaro and the driver Miguel who took us back to La Paz along a road not without pitfalls and immersed in fog. The organization is precise and timely. Bikes very well maintained, every small unexpected was promptly resolved. We were clearly explained what to do and what not to do, always putting our safety first. The boys offer snacks along the way and enjoy taking pictures while also experimenting as videomakers. Upon arrival lunch buffet and wanting a dip in the pool in Yolosa in the middle of the jungle.
