"Death Road"

On my way to Bolivia I read about "death road" which some say is the most dangerous rode in the world. There are an average of 100 deaths per year on this narrow and mountainous road. In fact, the week before I took a ride down the 3000 meter Yungas road a tour guide had died. The road itself isn't that dangerous rather it is the mix of bullish bus drivers, sleep deprived truckers and tourists that create the drama. With proper equipment, a good guide and a wee bit of caution the bike ride is a lot of fun and death can easily be avoided.
