Bolivia's Road of Death

The treacherous North Yungas Road runs for less than 44 miles from Bolivia's foremost city, La Paz, to Coroico in the Yungas. Still, for those drivers who dare to take it, this journey is probably more than long enough.

The road is legendary for its extreme danger and it's called 'world's most dangerous road.' One estimate states that 200 to 300 travellers are killed yearly along the road. The North Yungas road includes cross markings on many of the spots where vehicles have fallen.
