Biking Down Death Road in Bolivia
The famous Nor Yungas in Bolivia is considered the most dangerous road in the world – a 3,600 m track down the steep and rocky slope of the towering peak La Cumbre. This infamous narrow dirt road is cut into the side of a mountain and it descends at a rapid rate, sending riders hurtling down the rough terrain. On one side you will have a sheer drop and on the other side you will have enormous rock overhangs and cascading waterfalls as you speed down the mountain. It’s a thrilling ride that will have you hanging on with white knuckles all the way down.
