Bolivia: La Ruta de la Muerte

Before the construction of a modern (?!) highway, this route was the only connection between La Paz, at 4.650 mt. and Coroico, in the Yungas rainforest, under 1,000 mt.

Infamous for the average of over 250 deaths each year due to the impossible terrain and forbidding weather, and with vertical cliffs 800 mts. in some places, this road is today a much desired ride for bikers, not to mention still a busy and dangerous alternative route for many other vehicles.
A variety of tour operators offer trips from La Paz, including bike rentals transport and gear, with prices ranging from US$ per person.
An investment we thought was worth for every drop of adrenalin flowing.
We had to go and see.
It was a memorable experience. Emotions of the good kind and in quantities (this includes the bus back)

The guide was a cool cat but disrespected this old rider in a downhill race.
