Road info
Although we haven't done this road ourselves, we ran into another couple who took the road from Santa Cruz to La Paz via the amazon (ruta 3) and they said it was absolute hell! Lots of deep mud and the road being blocked by trucks apparently.
If you want to do a great road however I can warmly recommend the back road from Cochabamba - La Paz via ruta 25. It's about 700kms of dirt through some spectacular scenery. Check out our blog post about it: Handful Of Throttle: The REAL Death Road of Bolivia We made a couple of movies about it too which you can find on the blog.
If you manage to leave Sucre there is another great route you can take that goes via Tarabuco and north to Samaipata (Samaipata is a shithole though) which takes you on to the Ruta del Che as well. Here's our blog post about that one: Handful Of Throttle: Ruta Del Che
We are in La Paz at the moment ourselves and will be around the Coroico and Lake Titicaca area the next week before returning to La Paz. Who knows, maybe we'll see you around

From here we are heading up through Cochabamba then up towards La Paz to see the death road etc.
Our plan is heading down into Paraguay so we were looking at road 3 around the top and head to Santa Cruz, is this a bigarse boring road or one worth taking?
Anyone been on this road that can chime in please, also if anyone is in Sucre this next week and wonna catch up and exchange lies we are in Hostel Pachamama
