However, some of them are due to the roads. The roads mentioned in this article invites the people to death. Driving on these roads are extremely dangerous and risky but adventurous.

Yungas Road (Highway of death in Bolivia)

Yungas Road is one of the most dangerous roads of all world. It is placed in Bolivia, between La Paz and Coroico cities. Since this region is called as Yungas, naturally this road is named as Yungas Road.

This road is used by heavy trucks, buses and lorries. Naturally, if you go to there,you can see the wreckages of many lorries and buses. In last years, it is also preferred by cyclists and motorcyclists. ”Gravity Assisted Mountain Biking” is one of the extreme sports made by on this road. Every month, more than 200 people die on Yungas Road. Annual death toll is more than 3000.

HOLY COW!! And I thought we had some nasty roads here in the U.S.!! Although my wife and I did travel one in western Oregon awhile back where there were junk trucks at the bottom of a ravine where the trucks didn’t make the curves up the side of the mountain…

Very interesting article. Thanks.

There are many similar roads in the world, e.g., El Caminito del Rey in Malaga, Spain or Siberian road through Yakutsk or some roads in Nepal. They are definitely very exciting.

Thanks for visiting THE CAVEMAN NETWORK. This feature you got on dangerous roads is awesome. I’ve heard of Yungas Road. Driving a truck or bus on that highway is just asking for it.

Did you travel these roads?

Hey Chucky,

Thanks for the link to this site. Wow what pics. I saw something about this on Discovery channel.

I tried to sign up for Trifter but it seems screwed up. Is there a secret to getting on as a content writer?
