Currently, one of the most visited tourist destinations in Bolivia is the Death Road, also known as ‘The World’s Most Dangerous Road’. The route starts at La Cumbre (Summit) at 4000 meters above sea level and goes down to subtropical areas located at 300 meters.

This route was the main access road to the jungle of Los Yungas, where Coroico is located, and becomes legendary for its extreme danger. Nowadays, it is a fast-track and almost exclusively consolidated as a mountain biking tourist circuit.
