The world’s most dangerous road – According to Wikipedia – One estimate is that 200-300 travellers were killed yearly along the road[1]. The road includes christian crosses marking many of the spots where such vehicles have fallen.
Upon leaving La Paz, the road first ascends up to around 5 km, before descending to 330 m (1079 ft), transitioning quickly from cool altiplano terrain to rain forest as it winds through very steep hillsides and atop cliffs.
The funny thing is, Yungas Road is a must visit tourist spot for all foreigners.
