The North Yungas Road is a 61 to 69 km road leading from La Paz to Coroico, 56 km (35 miles) northeast of La Paz in the Yungas region of Bolivia.
It is legendary for its extreme danger and in 1995 the Inter-American Development Bank christened it as the "world's most dangerous road".
One estimate is that 200-300 travelers were killed yearly along the road.
The road includes crosses marking many of the spots where such vehicles have fallen.
Would you take the risk to go there?
