North Yungas Road, Bolivia

Bolivia’s North Yungas Road ranks as the number-one road among the world’s most Insane Roads.

Often called the “Death Road,” it became internationally famous for its narrow surface, steep cliffs, waterfalls, fog, and enormous drops. A newer highway now carries much of the regular traffic, but the old road remains famous as an adventure destination, particularly for mountain biking.
In some sections, the route is only a few meters wide, with dramatic valleys immediately beside it. The combination of tropical scenery, high mountains, narrow passages, and legendary reputation makes North Yungas Road one of the most extraordinary roads on Earth.
