  This one is certainly for daring ones -the Road of Death, a very explicite name of its essence.

  Road of Death or Yungas Road is a road about 61 kilometers, connecting the capital of Bolivia, La Paz, and the town of Coroico, Yungas region, the Bolivian Amazon. Famous for the extreme conditions in which traffic occurs, the road was declared in 1995 as "the most dangerous road in the world", making between 200 and 300 victims. The highway includes a single lane (generally not exceeding width 3.5 meters), is paved, muddy on rainy days devening (often being located in an equatorial forest zone). In 1983, a bus crashed on the Yungas Road, 100 people losing their lives.  Now Road of Death is less traveled and those who still venture on this route are cyclists and mountain lovers of strong sensations.
