Death Road
World's Most Dangerous Road

Just outside the city of La Paz, Bolivia is the Yungas Road, also known as Death Road and the World's Most Dangerous Road. Death Road is located in the high altitudes of the Andean Mountain range in Bolivia. The Yungas Road earned its nicknames because it has more deaths per mile than any other road in the world.

The Road of Death is about 65 kilometers (40 mi) long. Leading from the high Andes in La Paz to the sub-tropical rainforest town of Coroico.

Vehicles typically drive on the left-side, as opposed to the right-side like the rest of Bolivia. The reason vehicles drive on the left-side is because all of the vehicles have their steering wheel on the left-hand side. The road is so narrow that the driver has to be able to look out the window to make sure the wheels are on the road, making passing safer.
