el camino de la muerte

and leaving La Paz, a mere two hours drive from that La Paz chaos, on the road leading to the Bolivian rainforest, lays a road that many have called "The death road" but I would rather call it "The beautifull landscape" road

built by the Paraguayans prisioners of war of La Guerra del Chaco, this serpentine road takes us from about 4000mts above sea level to right above 1500mts a.s.l. And it's all downhill! :D
deeper and depper into the rainforest we go, going from brownish peaks to green valleys ....

what we found tough was that the most dangerous part of the road was to keep our eyes on the road with so much beauty all around us :))))


hope the pics could be more and better, but when you go downhill, you dont want to stop to take a pic -much less when the road is all gravel ;)
