The 38 mile long road connecting La Paz to Coroico rises to over 4,600m just outside La Paz and drops to 1,500m at Coroico. In 1995 the Inter-American Development Bank declaired it the world´s most dangerous road. It´s now a popular way to cycle, I did so yesterday, and managed not to join the recorded 18 cyclists who have so far dropped off the edge of it to their doom. I went with a group as that has the benefit of getting a bus back up the hill since the route down was something of a tangent to the direction that I am going in.
