Free riding is when the terrain allows you to ride where there is no trail, and you have the freedom to create your own line, never riding the same way twice and having an amazingly good time! Bolivia is a free rider’s paradise.  In the higher altitudes, there is little plant growth, combine this with the scree and you have the perfect surface for free riding. Although the scree is only found in the higher altitudes, the free riding continues farther down as we pass through the ‘free ride fun park’ zone of pasture-grass covered bowls, half-pipes and ridges.  There’s nothing like scouting as you go, hitting drops and jumps as you work the terrain to the best of your ability.

Please check the gear list to see what you will need to bring for the trip.
