conquering fear on death road Reima Saleem shares how she conquered her fears on the most dangerous road in the world. The North Yungas Road (also known as Grove’s Road, Coroico Road, Camino de las Yungas, ‘Road of fate’ or ‘Death Road’) is a road that leads from La Paz to Coroico, northeast of La Paz in the Yungas region of Bolivia. It is legendary for its extreme danger and in 1995 the Inter-American Development Bank christened it as the ‘world’s most dangerous road’. The road includes cross markings on many of the spots where vehicles have fallen.
