Bike Ride on Coroico Road - the World's Most Dangerous Road

By Bonnie Hamre, About.com Guide

Called the world's most dangerous road, the route between La Paz and the small village of Coroico in the Yungas is a narrow, dirt track that has claimed thousands of lives since it was first built. A modern highway to replace the road has recently been completed, but the old road is a favorite with thrill seeking bicyclists. Enjoy this bike ride with them.
