Crazy Road
 

RATED AS THE WORLD's MOST DANGEROUS ROAD

The road is located in the South American country of Bolivia.


It consists of 43 miles (70 km) of dirt and rock heading north from La
Paz, the world's highest capitol (altitude 12,000 feet or 3,660 m), to
Coroico, a beautiful cloud forest town at the rim of the Amazon basin.
Its catchy nickname is due to the 26 vehicles that fall off the road per
year. About 200 people annually lose their lives here.

A fatal accident every fortnight is not uncommon on the Coroico road
(the July disaster brought the death toll during the previous eight
months to 55) and in 1995 the Inter-American Development Bank declared this, the world's most dangerous road.

The only road that exists to get to the Amazon from La Paz , it is
carved into the sides of a canyon. It can have vertical drops for 1,600
feet and has no guardrails.

Consequently, most Bolivians take the time to pray before their
descent. After all, it could be their last.

They should race World Rally Cross on that road. :lol:

:shocked!:

those truckers must charge a left nut and first born to drive that shit!

Damn I wouldnt wanna be in that truck out near the edge like that. You'd wanna hope that bit out near the edge wasnt loose in anyway! :shock: :shock:

i think its a must for parachute lovers,
the valley is too deep :shock:

not for me thanks. :shock:

a motorbike is prolly the solution to pass this road :wink:

^^ Definitely... but you can see 2 big ass trucks passing each other :shock:

I think that shouldn't even be considered a road. Possibly a trail, but not a road.

Your right! How can you call that a road :shock:

That looks so dangerous, especially with the trucks!
