MOST DANGEROUS ROAD IN THE WORLD

AT 4,800 metres high and just three metres wide, this is the most dangerous road in the world. Surrounded by rainforest and rolling hills, the views from the North Yungus Road in Bolivia are astounding. But travelling along this 40 mile track can come at a price. The narrow single-lane road has no railings and claims the lives of an estimated 300 travellers per year.
