Fear makes a fine breakfast companion. Gravity Bolivia’s one-day ride down Death Road combines a 64-kilometer descent, sharp Andean scenery, and a safety setup that takes the edge off the road’s grim nickname.

Two stark worlds fit into one long day. I like the sharp contrast between Moon Valley’s clay spires and Chacaltaya’s icy, wind-scoured summit, and I like the convenience of downtown pickup, entry fees, and a bilingual guide for $40.
