The Yungas Hwy between La Paz and Coroico is officially the world's most dangerous road.
Given that an average of 26 vehicles disappear over the edge every year the title is well deserved.
It's a gravel track only 3.2m wide - just enough room for one vehicle with sheer 1000m drops, hulking rock
overhangs, and waterfalls that spill across & erode the highway.
It has a growing reputation among cyclists keen for an adrenaline rush.
All you need to do is watch those edges, drunk drivers and marauding trucks.
