North Yungas Road,Bolivia
The path from La Paz to Coroico, Bolivia, is a
treacherous one. The North Yungas Road weaves precariously through the Amazon
rainforest at a height of over 15,000 feet. When you consider that frightening
elevation—not to mention the 12-foot-wide single lane, lack of guardrails, and
limited visibility due to rain and fog—it's easy to see why this 50-mile
stretch of highway has earned the nickname "The Death Road." While
200 to 300 drivers used to die here annually, North Yungas Road has now become
more of a destination for adventurous mountain bikers than a vehicular thoroughfare.
Oh my god! Could you be able to go through one of this places?
