“Road to Ruins” Route Details (Watopia)
Watopia’s “Road to Ruins” was added with the Mayan jungle expansion in late October 2017. It begins just like the Jungle Circuit, but takes you to the Volcano Flat and back home to the start/finish banner instead of leaving you riding jungle laps.

Currently this is the only route which takes you through the jungle and back through the start/finish banner without going over the Epic KOM. It is sure to be a popular group ride route for this reason.
Thanks for the route description👍
Thanks for setting this up Heather
I had the badge for ‘road to ruin but how come it doesn’t show on my zwift badge page?
Hi
does anyone have a recommendation for which bike to use? Thanks
Yes, check out https://zwiftinsider.com/road-to-ruins-recommendation/
Thank you, and apologies for missing that.
Hi Eric
I have completed Road to Ruins from the start pier 14 times but never completed the road to ruins segment. What am i doing wrong?
Not sure. Here’s the segment from the Start Pier, for your reference: https://www.strava.com/segments/17689641
Just completed it today with ECRO Chasing Pink – Strava shows that was the third time I’ve done that segment (at the link above) – not showing up in the leaderboard.
Assuming you went with a road bike, is aero best or aim for an all-rounder setup?
curious how much of this route is gravel?
Too much. I hate this route. Dirt and gravel seriously impacts speed on fat guys in Zwift. 😂
YMMV.
