TRIPS TO BOLIVIA: HIGHWAY OF THE DEATH

In the arrogant mountain range of Bolivian the $andes is the spectacular and vertiginous highway of the Summit to Coroico. It has 3600 ms of unevenness throughout his 64 km of route: from an interAndean step located to 4700 ms of altitude to subtropical valleys of the Yungas, where are the populations of Yolosa (1200 ms) and Coroico (1500 ms).

In 1995, Inter-American Development Bank granted to this highway the title of “The World's Most Dangerous Road” (the most dangerous highway of the world) and is well well-known by the villagers like the Highway of the Yungas.

In 2004 a new highway was inaugurated, that sometimes, replaces the previous one. The election is to taste of the consumer…

The reduction in bicycle of this route will be a experience difficult to forget.

The resistance of landscapes during the route is very accused: from perpetual snows in the Andean tips to the extensive subtropical forests in the low zone of the itinerary. Flocks of flames, towns, fog banks, pretty cascades, mud, precipice and trucks….they will accompany to us throughout the reduction of the Highway of the Death.
