I would love to see some of these. Especially Guoliang Tunnel Road in china or Trollstigen in Norway. I bet the view is amazing. I dont think I would visit the Death Road in bolivia though :nono:


The North Yungas Road, also known as The Death Road, is a 61 to 69 km road leading from La Paz to Coroico (Bolivia's capital, to the Amazon region) in the Yungas region of Bolivia. It is legendary for its extreme danger: in 1995 the Inter-American Development Bank christened it as the "world's most dangerous road. " One estimate is that 200-300 travelers were killed yearly along the road. The road includes crosses marking many of the spots where such vehicles have fallen.

You'll be happy to know that, in 2006, they opened a new bypass road that has two paved lanes, bridges, guardrails, etc.

The only people using the old road road are tourists, thrill seekers, bicyclists, and a few die-hards who think the new bypass would take them longer.
