Bolivia’s Death Road
Connecting La Paz and Corioco, this 35 mile stretch of road converses through Bolivia’s dense jungle, massive hills, and sharp turns. As a narrow, one-lane road, drivers have to hug the inside edge to avoid falling off of the edge (since it doesn’t have any guardrails) and avoid falling debris and mudslides from the constant rain. This dangerous road claims more than 300 lives per year.
Guoliang Tunnel Road (China)
Opened in 1977, the Guoliang Tunnel Road is jaw dropping. Drivers travel inside tunnels carved on the mountain edge on a relatively safe paved road. However, travelling through the Chinese Mountains is not without constant danger as many parts of the road have narrow, hairpin turns without guardrails and a minimal sightline.
