According to Wikipedia, this is the Worlds most dangerous road and its not hard to see why!
One estimate is that 200 to 300 travellers were killed yearly along the road. The road includes christian crosses marking many of the spots where such vehicles have fallen.
Upon leaving La Paz, the road first ascends up to around 5 km, before descending to 330 m (1079 ft), transitioning quickly from cool altiplano terrain to rain forest as it winds through very steep hillsides and cliffs.
The funny thing is, Yungas Road is a must visit tourist spot for all foreigners.
