This is a picture of one of the corners of the MOST dangeours road in the World. Its nickname is "The Death Road".
I took the ride in 2005 with my friends, its a unique experience!!! You start at 15000 feet over the sea level and ride your bike towards "Los Yungas" jungle in a road full of clifs of 70-300 feet (literally vertical falls).
That day we had a lot of fog and rain as you can see in the picture (besides the permanent humidity once you start the jungle section).
You can check the ABCNews report about it on: http://www.abcnews.go.com/Travel/story?id=4705412&page=1. |

Hi Telma!
Very very good photograph. It really looks like the end of the world. Perhaps the photo has a bit of excessive brigthness, but, after watching to it, I am impressed.
Best regards,
Nuno
