Torotoro Canyon Road — Cochabamba to Toro Toro.
A rough two-day dual-sport adventure from Bolivia's garden city of Cochabamba down to Torotoro National Park — the country's 'Jurassic Park'. The graded valley road turns to mountain dirt beyond Anzaldo, dropping through arid canyon country to a village guarding more than 3,500 Cretaceous dinosaur footprints, deep gorges and caves. A trail-ready bike and an overnight break the journey.
