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.

이 투어의 정차 지점 (10)

1. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
