Astonishing landscapes of South America

10. I think there's a photo on this google image page for the "Road of Death" in Bolivia

which might almost get the job done!

In the beginning, the deaths from falling from an incredible height happened to poor working men who felt they had to drive trucks for merchants over the mountain to sell their products on the other side. I think it's really too bad that if the merchants really wanted to make a profit, they didn't drive the stuff over there, themselves, or at least try!

Apparently most of the "accidents" happen currently to kids from other countries who feel their thrill-seeking needs can only be met by having a go at the "Road of Death" themselves.

Here's the google image page, with enough scary images to set some people's teeth on edge!

Here's a link to a brief summary of the road:

How bored could a person really get which would drive him/her to try that silliness? I'll just "shelter in place," thank you!
