A few years ago, we were in Bolivia and so we had to drive our 1976 VW down the famous Death Road.

It was once one of the most dangerous routes in the world. But since a safe bypass was introduced, it's now mostly a crowded cycle pass. But saying that, if you Google bike deaths on the road and you will see that it's still claimed a fair few lives in the past 20 years.

In reality, it wasn't a dangerous drive, we didn't see another car on our entire drive. But we passed sections where we could see how sketchy it would have been if your journey led you to a section at the exact time a large truck was passing.

Desire it's history, it was a great drive, with amazing views down the valley.

This is just a little reel we made recently. We posted a long form video after driving it, but I would like to revisit the footage one day as I am a little better at editing these days 🤣

It's still a drive I would recommend to any Overlanders who finds themselves in Bolivia, despite how difficult it is to buy fuel there as a foreigner (although that seems like a global problem at the momen!)
