Yungas Road, Bolivia | The North Yungas Road with its sheer cliffs is paired with an equally ominous nickname – the Death Road. Hairpin curves leave drivers teetering towards the edge of the single-lane path. If you’re brave enough to tackle the trek where 200 to 300 people die yearly, you’ll be rewarded with a view of green Bolivian landscape shrouded in clouds that will make you believe you already died and went to heaven.
