Waaaaghhh!!!!

Definitely don't look down.... I once took the trip down from Quito to the pacific coast, and thought that road was pretty hairy, but this takes the biscuit! Most of it was proper two-lane highway with white lines and everything, with even a few stretches of railing (with gaps missing). Shrines and crosses every couple of miles, hairpins every so often. I'm not saying the drivers are erratic, but it was a good few miles before I was sure which side of the road the Ecuadoreans were supposedly driving on

Being a major route there were quite a few trucks, and apparently the downhillers would turn off their engines and freewheel to save fuel, steering as lazily as possible to keep it smooth. The only concession to safety was the constant blasting of air horns. That most of these trucks were fuel tankers didn't help Still, the views were amazing...

It's reassuring to see things are even more extreme in Bolivia
