I cant believe that there is actually such a road in the world!!!!!!!!!! =P
I was surfing the net, and then somehow I stumbled across the website. Wow and then I did some further research on this - and to my surprise, this road is actually damn famous!!! But it is damn dangerous - in fact, it is the World's most dangerous road!!! Freakyyy....
I bring you... the World's Most Dangerous Road.
The North Yungas Road in Bolivia - also known as the Road of Death.
The North Yungas Road, also known as the Road of Death is considered the most dangerous road in the world. It stretches for about 40 mountain-hugging miles and is only 10 feet wide.
The North Yungas Road (also known as the El Camino de la Muerte, ‘Road of Death’ in Spanish) is a 43 mile road connecting La Paz and Coroico, 35 miles northeast of La Paz in Bolivia.
Famous for its extreme danger, it was christened as the “world’s most dangerous road” in 1995 by the Inter-American Development Bank. The single-lane width, extreme drop offs, and lack of guardrails, only add to the danger lurking behind. Further, the fog and rain can make visibility poor and the road surface muddy, loosening rocks from the hillsides above. It is estimated that 200 to 300 travelers are killed per year on this treacherous road. Although, the old North Yungas Road is much less used by traffic nowadays, an increasing number of adventure bikers travel it for the thrills.
I would like to appeal to the Government of Bolivia - to stop their citizens from using this road already. Come - lets raise some funds, let me build you a new highway ok. *wink* =P
