Welcome to Bolivia Death Road!



The North Yungas Road (also known as Death Road)  is a road leading from La Paz to Coroico, 56 kilometers  northeast of La Paz in the Yungas region of Bolivia.  Nearly  200 to 300 deaths per year on North Yungas road.It is also named as "world's most dangerous road".

The danger of the road made it a popular tourist destination starting in the 1990s, Mountain biking enthusiasts in particular have made it a favorite destination for downhill biking since there is a 64-kilometer (40 mi) stretch of continuous downhill riding with only one short uphill section. There are now many tour operators catering to this activity, providing information, guides, transport and equipment.

It was featured on the BBC show Top Gear: Bolivia Special (Episode 6 of Top Gear series 14)
