The bolivian Death Road

Or, in spanish, el camino de la muerte. Or Yungas Road, which doesn’t mean anything comparing to death road! It is actually a 69 km road, leading from Bolivia capital La Paz to the city of Coroico in the Amazon jungle. This road was built in 1937 by Paraguayan war prisoners, and the government of Bolivia spared a lot by this road. There are no side protection, nevertheless on one side there is a deep canyon. Going out of the road means no escape.

During the years and centuries the road made many victims, and even today it takes its tribute of 200-300 people yearly. In 1974 Bolivia’s worst car accident took place naturally on Camino de la muerte: an overcrowded bus gone in the canyon killing 100 people.

I think, you simply need to travel somewhere! Try the following destinations:

1. Mexico City. See a megacity with all its emerging problems, maybe the world’s biggest!

2.Bolivia, the death road. Only if you are an incurable adventurer and are strong enough not to look below!

3. Barcelona. A very nice city indeed, the capital af Catalunya. Compare it with Madrid, if you saw already it!

4.Tansania. A good oportunity for safari. And much more than that.

5.United Arab Emirates. Pure opulent luxury due to the oil and to the smart investments.
