Yungas – La Paz Region

Yungas is situated in the northern region of Bolivia. It is mostly known for the road that connects the town of Coroico to the city of La Paz. The “World’s Deadliest Road”, is a phrased coined by the Inter-American Development Bank in 1995 as the road ascends to nearly 4,650m  (15,260 ft.), it is mostly single-lane and offers exquisite views of the Rainforest as it descends from the Altiplano.  It boasts cliff drops of nearly 600 meters (2,000 ft.), which excites thrill-seekers, including mountain-bikers from all over the world.
