There's one road in the world which is so deadly, it's gained the nickname 'Camino de la Muerte'.
If you're a daredevil but jumping across high rise buildings or performing daring ski stunts isn't really your thing, then there's always hopping in your car and taking a drive on what's considered to be 'the world's most dangerous road'.
The Camino de la Muerte - which translates to Death Road - is 64km (40 miles) long and in some areas, only measures a measly three meters wide.
Not only this, but drivers are also subject to corners which seemingly come out of nowhere which are also sharp turnings, oh and added water on the roads too from the mini waterfalls around the area of course.

The road - which was reportedly built by built by Paraguayan prisoners of war following the Chaco War - doesn't feature solid safety barriers the whole way along, meaning should you get too close to the edge?
Well, you'll see a spine-chilling sheer vertical 3,500m drop. *Gulps*
But where is this Death Road so you can either go there for the thrill, or for the more sensible among us, avoid it at all possible costs?
The Camindo de la Muerte stretches from La Paz in Bolivia to the Yungas valleys and into the Amazon rainforest and beyond.

And if you needed another reason to try to find a longer route option should you so need to travel from La Paz to the Yungas valleys and Amazon - on top of the 3,500m drop - then the lives the road has taken should be warning enough.
A reported 200-300 people used to die on the road every year, as per Bolivia Hop, however, since 1998, the number has reduced to an average of five.
Although I definitely still don't fancy my chances.

A Bolivia Hop writer recalled cycling on the famous road, dubbed the 'world's most dangerous road' by the Inter-American Development Bank: "It was all gravel. Changing from road biking to mountain biking, the stakes grew higher quickly.. Even more, the course got more challenging."
They described the 'sharp twists and turns' and moments where they 'couldn't see what was coming around the corner'.
They resolved: "Plus, I think the most scary part was realizing that just one wrong decision or move could easily take you over the edge.
"A majority of the road is only 10 ft (3 m) wide so you really don’t have much space to work with! I’m not scared of heights but when I saw that there were no guard rails and no safety barriers, I was scared stiff!!"
