You drive.

It’s 12 feet wide, at best, and descends nearly 12,000 feet in just over 40 miles, winding through the Amazon rainforest with a lack of guardrails and an even more significant absence of visibility due to fog and misty conditions.

When considering all of that, there’s little wonder why the 50-mile stretch of Bolivian highway that connects the city of La Paz to the Coroico in the North Yungas has earned the nickname “The Death Road.”

Usted conduce.

Tiene 12 pies de ancho, en el mejor de los casos, y desciende casi 12,000 pies en poco más de 40 millas, serpenteando a través de la selva amazónica sin barandillas y una ausencia aún más significativa de visibilidad debido a la niebla y las condiciones brumosas.

Al considerar todo eso, no sorprende por qué el tramo de 50 millas de la carretera boliviana que conecta la ciudad de La Paz con Coroico en los Yungas del Norte se ha ganado el apodo de “El Camino de la Muerte”.
