Better known as 'El Camino de la Muerte' by locals, Yungas Road, or 'Death Road' in Bolivia is notorious all over the globe. Stretching for 43 miles and winding around breathtaking hills, the road is both extremely gorgeous and extremely dangerous. Around 300 people die on Yungas Road every year, which is obviously where it gets its ominous nickname. It is officially one of the most dangerous roads in the world, but that fact doesn't stop the hordes of people who want to experience riding it.
The Amazon Rainforest is beautiful to look at, but would you really want to fall into its canopies to a gruesome death? Yungas Road is single-lane and you can forget about safety railings. One wrong move and you'll join the statistics. In addition to this, there are often severe mudslides in the area during the wet season.
