Bolivia
Chulumani Market Square
Town / Resupply
Chulumani sits in the subtropical Yungas valleys about 2 hours from the end of the Death Road, serving as the main market town for this coca-growing region. The central plaza has several small tiendas, a fuel station, and vendors selling fresh produce from the surrounding valleys. It’s a working town, not touristy, with a genuine Bolivian mountain atmosphere and decent cell coverage.
The road down from Yolosa is paved but winding through cloud forest. Stock up here on basics — bread, canned goods, bottled water — as options get sparse heading deeper into the Yungas. The Pemex-style fuel station is reliable but cash-only like most rural Bolivia stops.
