Death Road in Bolivia is widely considered the most dangerous road in the world, due to its 600m cliffs, sharp bends and lack of guard rails.

Most dangerous: Death Road, Bolivia

Often considered the most perilous road in the world, the 65km-long North Yungas Road from La Paz to Coroico in Bolivia has stricken fear, awe and a thirst for adrenaline in extreme thrill-seekers.

Among its infamous features are crumbling 600m drops, sharp hairpin bends and cross markings on spots where vehicles have fallen, due to a lack of guard rails along the winding paths.

However, Death Road remains one of the most coveted and revered cycling destinations, largely owing to its promise of priceless vistas of the Bolivian rainforest.

Mountain-bikers also flock to Death Road for its 64km downhill stretch.

For those keen on taking this daredevil challenge, there are many tour operators offering guides, transport and equipment.
