Yungas Road Bolivia Postcard

The Yungas Road, famously known as the 'Death Road,' is a legendary route that descends from the high Altiplano down to the lush subtropical region of the Yungas. It is known for its narrow, winding path carved into the side of steep cliffs with vertical drops of hundreds of metres. While a newer road now handles most vehicle traffic, the old road has become a world-renowned destination for mountain bikers. The journey offers spectacular transitions from cold, misty mountain passes to humid, green forests filled with waterfalls and tropical vegetation.
