North Yungas Road – Yungas, Bolivia
The North Yungas Road in Bolivia not only offers beautiful scenes across the ride, but the travelers who take this route are also in for a thrilling adventure. Dubbed the ‘death road’ and the ‘road of fate’ by the locals, the highest point is almost 14,000 feet, with a mountain on one side and a jaw-dropping fall on the other. On top of that, the narrow passage has no guard rails and is often foggy.
Nonetheless, this unique route, connecting the cities of La Paz and Coroico, is a major tourist attraction drawing almost 25,000 people each year. It is particularly famous for downhill mountain biking.
