WMDR: The Worlds Most Dangerous Road!
Bolivia: Rain. Fog. Mud. Three thousand foot cliffs. Landslides. A narrow one-lane dirt road with buses and trucks.
The “worlds most dangerous road” drops over 11,000 vertical feet as it snakes its way through the Andes to the edge of the Amazon basin. It is the only way provisions can get from La Paz to Coroico and the other small towns in the region. For years it was a one-way road. On specified days of the week you could only go downhill. The other days it was one-way uphill. Currently traffic flows both ways. At some of the more treacherous blind corners, human traffic signalers stand to guide the traffic safely past each other.
