And it is official, this is the world&#8217;s most deadly road, deemed so by the Inter-America Development Bank in 1995. The pictures showed us big trucks with half of a wheel off the side of these cliffs and we thought, &#8220;What a perfect place to drive a Tundra truck.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Two years later, we arrived at the death road.\u00c2\u00a0 Luckily enough for us, a new road has been built, so truckers no longer need to drive this road to move their goods. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin: 5px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px\" src=\"http:\/\/www.theworldbyroad.com\/expedition\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/dsc-0077.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"DSC_0077\" width=\"404\" height=\"272\" align=\"right\" \/> This is a good thing, because as we were informed by Pablo Paz, the generous owner of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vertigobiking.com\" target=\"_blank\">Vertigo Biking<\/a> who took us downhill mountain biking on the road, in deciding which truck would back up to a wider spot in the road, the truckers would fight and whoever lost would have to back up. Since driving the trucks on a skinny, slippery road on a 2,000 ft cliff is already a bit intimidating for a guy like me, I was really not to interested in adding brawls with Bolivian truckers to the list as awesomely macho as it sounds.<\/p>\n<p>So for three days last week, and three days which I would deem as some of the best of the expedition, we went down the road twice and even stayed at the bottom in the jungle.\u00c2\u00a0 Once was on downhill mountain bikes and the other was in the trucks, both times had all of our adrenaline skyrocketing.\u00c2\u00a0 To add to the excitement both days had fog on and off so thick that you could not see more than 30 ft in front of you, but when the skies would clear the canyon was breathtaking.\u00c2\u00a0 With a starting altitude of over 15,000 ft the road takes you on a decent of over 10,000 ft in just over 55km.\u00c2\u00a0 The start of the road has a sign letting you know how many lives it has claimed this year.\u00c2\u00a0 This year it has still killed 43 people, even with the new road.<\/p>\n<p>I like to joke with Melissa, my co-pilot on the road, saying, &#8220;Death road, shmeth road, I could hardly stay awake.&#8221;\u00c2\u00a0 That could not be farther from the truth, I think my heart needs a few days of rest from pumping so fast on those cliffs.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>With the bikes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin: 5px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px\" src=\"http:\/\/www.theworldbyroad.com\/expedition\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/dsc-00861.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"DSC_0086\" width=\"454\" height=\"676\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>One of the many memorials on the road<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin: 5px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px\" src=\"http:\/\/www.theworldbyroad.com\/expedition\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/dsc-0102.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"DSC_0102\" width=\"554\" height=\"372\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>The crew<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin: 5px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px\" src=\"http:\/\/www.theworldbyroad.com\/expedition\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/dsc-0196.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"DSC_0196\" width=\"554\" height=\"372\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>Waterfalls keep the road nice and wet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin: 5px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px\" src=\"http:\/\/www.theworldbyroad.com\/expedition\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/dsc-0201.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"DSC_0201\" width=\"554\" height=\"372\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>Our favorite road, El Camino de Muerte<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; margin: 5px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px\" src=\"http:\/\/www.theworldbyroad.com\/expedition\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/dsc-0221.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"DSC_0221\" width=\"454\" height=\"678\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;You have driven to Timbuktu?!&#8221; is a statement we regularly hear.
