Road tripping on the world's most dangerous road The world's most dangerous road lies in Bolivia's 50-mile long North Rungas Road, on which 200 to 300 travellers taking the scenic route from La Paz to Coroico die every year before 2006. Only centimetres of road keeps you from plunging several hundred metres to certain (but scenic) death – not helped by constant rockfalls and fully packed busses and lorries squeezing past each other. An alternative route between the two towns has been around since 2006, making this road essentially one for the death-wish seeking tourists.
