Cycling Colombia's Death Road // A Bike Touring Short Film // Part 27 - Colombia

- After leaving Colombia's coffee region and cycling through the Valle del Cauca, we headed back into the mountains and across the Andes once again, this time taking the notorious "Trampolín de la Muerte", Colombia's death road!
Also known as "Trampolín del Diablo" (Devil's trampoline) or "Adiós mi vida" (Bye bye my life), the 60+ km dirt road between San Francisco and Mocoa, in the very south of Colombia, has claimed quite a few lives over the years.
Apparently, in 2011 alone, over 500 people died on the death road, mainly from landslides pushing vehicles over the edge.
Nowadays, the road has become somewhat of a tourist attraction, particularly for (motor)cyclists, as it offers spectacular views of the Andes mountains and a challenging ride... something we can definitely confirm!

Your smiles on this one speak for themselves. So happy for you guys.
So grateful to have found your channel. You two make my heart smile:) Your joy and enthusiasm is fantastic! Thank you for sharing:)
Thank you! 😊
Fabulous! Cheers.
Really really so impressive!!! We can't believe that you obviously survived this hardcore road and were still able to smile whilst talking to us. You are heroes!
Haha, thanks! 😅
You guys do an amazing job of riding muddy roads and rocky stream crossings. I would be hitting the ground constantly. Wonderful job filming and keeping us apprised.
It was definitely slippery! 😅
I admire you both on your way of living this Trip.
I am writing to you from Azerbaijan, my name is Vugar. I really like those who tour by bike, hopefully I will go on a world tour in 2025. Your smile adds more interest to our watching. Good luck
Thank you, good luck on your upcoming tour as well!
just love your videos,.... I've watched them all up to this point....almost caught up with you two now. Just so much amazing footage, your viewers would never other wise get to see. One sad point tho, I have to say... must be very hard to say goodby to some of your wonderful hosts, knowing you will never see each other again.
Glad you are enjoying our videos so much! 😊 Yea, that’s true, sometimes it is very hard to say goodbye… ☹️
I love your guys videos. Thanks for taking us along. Safe travels.
Thank you! 😊

Hola!!!guy's buena suerte.muy lindo felicitaciones. ❤cariños desde NZ
I enjoyed this video. I can't believe you got to ride it in the sun. I experienced incredible rain when I did it five years ago. I started on the Mocoa side and slept in a dirty shed at the military checkpoint because it was raining so hard when I got there I couldn't leave.
Very Nice! Safe Travels as always!
Wow. Merci pour cette bellle vidéo !
Great review.
The drone is an excellent idea, for us to see and for you to enjoy I would think.
I'll be living in Colombia next year and have to check into this route. In the dry season if possible. The landslides are called derrumbes. I've traveled a lot north of there, from Medellin north to the Uraba region, and the road is often closed because of mudslides. They are building the road into a four lane highway, with a lot of tunnels to protect sections that are prone to mudslides. The traffic is really crazy there so I am not recommending it as a bike route. The one you went on is in a region I've never been to and looks a lot more peaceful.
Watching every minute and enjoying everything. Thank you for sharing!
Awesome! 😊
Wow, that Trampolín de la Muerte is really impressive. Great drone shots ! I hope you found a safe place to sleep that night. You must have been exhausted if you have been up until 5 in the morning. I am already looking forward to your experience in Ecuador.
Thanks! 😊 Yea, we had a Warmshowers host that night who lived in a small hut in the jungle. 😅
Godsspeed and Godsspeed you will have..
Thanks for another great video
Good
Love your video..take care
Nice
DANKESCHÖN für die wundervollen Videos !!! Sehr schön dort. Gerne könnten die Videos dreimal so lang sein. Wünsche allzeit gute Fahrt.
Danke! 😊
epic video.
Thanks 😊
Dachte gerade, wäre nett Tobias wieder mal Gitarre spielen sehen und hören! Und da war er schon und auch ein Einheimischer hat die Gitarre probiert. So nett!
Würde mir gefallen, ein wenig mehr Tobias life zu hören, wenn ihr mögt.
Bin ja froh, dass ihr diese fürchterliche Straße heil herunter gekommen seid! Danach wart ihr erledigt!
Danke!
Wir werden bald mal wieder ein bisschen mehr Musik rausbringen. 😊 Ja, danach waren wir echt fertig. 😅
💪💪💪 good job
Hello,
I'll just write it here spontaneously, even if it's not related to the video.
I'm really happy right now. I found your channel a long time ago. I liked that very much. And then I lost him. I googled for hours with all kinds of words I could think of and watched a lot of channels, but you weren't anywhere. At some point I gave up sadly.
And,
TH-cam is just showing you in its suggestions. I am very pleased. Go to sleep now but I'm really looking forward to your videos of your journey. Greetings Bernhard
Hey, that’s really awesome to hear that you found our channel again! 😊 We hope that you continue to enjoy our videos.
02:45 - wow, i thought such a things happens only in Australia
In Australia we've only seen 3 trailers so far on the Road Trains! 😅
A fantastic adventure in Colombia, please do you remember the name of that canyon or the name of the town after?
The canyon is called Juanambú, as far as we know. 😊
@@louisaandtobi thank you a lot
Great! Video, where did u see the route ?
How you understand the Spanish people , ? You have a machine translator ?
We planned our route by talking to locals and seeing what other people cycle in that area.
We practiced our Spanish while traveling through Spanish speaking countries and slowly got better. 😊
How did you cross the Darien Gap?
We flew from Costa Rica to Colombia.
Welches Zelt findet ihr soweit am Besten?
Wir sind mit dem Forclaz Trek 900 (MT-900) von Decathlon ziemlich zufrieden. Hat ca. die gleichen Dimensionen wir teurere Zelte (z.B. von MSR) und ist qualitativ auch gut. Bisher hatten wir nur das Problem, dass die Reißverschlüsse irgendwann aufgeben, und haben sie tauschen lassen. Aber das Problem haben wohl viele Zelte.

I think Cali specialized in eyes surgery. No more glasses !!? And "nearby" there's Buenaventura. A Black community on the sea.....
Contact lenses 😊
@@louisaandtobi Sun gazing ! I do it once in a while. Great.

What was it that attracted you to South America? ...was it the grinding poverty...the political corruption and instability...the obvious risk to your personal safety? It seems to me that there is often a fine line between an adventurous spirit and simple stupidity.
Sorry but your comment sounds unfriendly. It's the traveller's choice! Who cares?
You stay safe in your micehouse, locking the door, enjoying watching CNN garbage. Relax that nothing will happen to you.
Doesn’t get any better then Colombia!! Death road is very boring! Good thing the views are amazing!
