The "World's Most Dangerous Road" — a 40-mile descent from La Paz through the Andes to the Yungas jungle. Precipitous drops, single-lane width, and no guardrails define this road that once claimed 200-300 lives annually. A new road has replaced most of it for regular traffic.
このツアーのスポット(10)
- 1 La Cumbre Pass — 4,650m The starting point at 15,260 feet — one of the highest road passes in the Andes. Snow and ice are common. Altitude sickness affects many visitors. The descent from here drops over 3,600 meters.
- 2 Chuspipata — New Road Junction Where the new paved road and the old Death Road diverge. The new road opened in 2006, but the original dirt road remains as a tourist attraction — primarily for mountain bikers.
- 3 First Switchbacks — Cloud Forest The road narrows to 3.2 meters wide with no guardrails. Clouds envelop the road at this altitude. The transition from Andean highlands to cloud forest happens within minutes.
- 4 San Juan Waterfall Crossing Waterfalls cascade directly across the road surface. The road is carved into the cliff face — rock wall on one side, a vertical drop of up to 600 meters on the other.
- 5 Senda de la Muerte — Narrowest Point The road narrows to barely one vehicle width. On the old road, uphill traffic had the right of way — the downhill vehicle had to reverse to a wider spot. Crosses mark where vehicles went over the edge.
- 6 Memorial Crosses Clusters of crosses mark accidents along the cliff edge. The Inter-American Development Bank named this the world's most dangerous road in 1995. The road has no drainage, and rain turns it to mud.
- 7 Yungas Valley Viewpoint The cloud forest thins to reveal the lush Yungas valley far below. Coca plantations, banana groves, and tropical forest replace the sparse highland vegetation.
- 8 Vegetation Transition Zone In less than 40 miles, the road descends through five distinct ecological zones — from glacial alpine to subtropical jungle. The biodiversity along this route is extraordinary.
- 9 Coroico — Valley Town The destination at the bottom — a pleasant Yungas town at 1,750 meters surrounded by coffee and coca plantations. Hotels with swimming pools offer recovery from the adrenaline of the descent.
- 10 Coroico Mirador A viewpoint overlooking the Yungas valley. Looking back up at the cliffs you descended reveals the impossibility of the road — a thread of dirt carved into a near-vertical mountain wall.
