conquering fear on death road
Reima Saleem shares how she conquered her fears
on the most dangerous road in the world.
The North Yungas Road (also known
as Grove’s Road, Coroico Road,
Camino de las Yungas, ‘Road of fate’
or ‘Death Road’) is a road that leads
from La Paz to Coroico, northeast of
La Paz in the Yungas region of Bolivia.
It is legendary for its extreme
danger and in 1995 the Inter-American Development Bank christened it
as the ‘world’s most dangerous road’.
The road includes cross markings on
many of the spots where vehicles
have fallen.
