00:01Here we are on Bolivia's Death Road.
00:04It connects La Paz and Corico and is known as one of the world's most dangerous roads.
00:10These days, there's a safer road between the two cities, so this one has become a hotspot for thrill-seekers.
00:20The altitude drops from 4,600 to 1,200 meters over its 56-kilometer length.
00:30And most of the road is only 3.2 meters wide, allowing just one car to pass at a time.
01:00Believe me when I tell you that you shouldn't stop at this intersection.
01:22It's a hunting ground, not for humans.
01:52But for crocodiles, with over a hundred of them in the area.
01:57In some parts of the world, tourists can cross glass bridges for a three-day hour.
02:15But nothing compares to the experience of crossing the Gwandinsky Bridge in Siberia.
02:33Standing 15 meters high and stretching 570 meters long, this bridge was regularly used by cars,
02:53despite its poor condition, until ice drifts destroyed its supports in 2018.
03:23You can't climb a mountain sitting on your couch.
03:43But with a well-insured car, you can even tackle the Himalayas.
03:47Just be sure to avoid situations like this.
03:54These vehicles are heading to Ground Zero, where the mountain highway ends.
04:06Located on the border between India and Tibet, at an altitude of 4,660 meters,
04:12this is the last point accessible to civilians, with only military roads beyond.
04:19The roads in Hawaii aren't more dangerous than those elsewhere in the world.
04:37Except for an active volcano nearby.
04:42In 2018, Kilauea, one of the largest volcanoes on the island, erupted.
04:47Hot lava flows reach the roads, rendering them completely impassable.
04:52But they say that this is something from 1955, I believe.
05:02All the lava from the 1955 eruption.
05:07This road in Pakistan's Kaltaro Valley has over 100 curves, many of them incredibly sharp.
05:27It runs right next to a cliff, ready to welcome distracted drivers with open arms.
05:39Plus the road often narrows to a strip with an abyss on both sides.
05:56And this nightmare goes on for 14 kilometers.
06:11The next time you feel anxious, be careful you're not on the Kanali Highway in Nepal.
06:20Unseasoned cyclists steer clear of this route, let alone drivers.
06:33This intense road spans 232 kilometers, and despite its narrow width, supports two-way traffic.
06:46This makes many sections a complex puzzle to navigate.
06:51Plus, reaching the end before sunset is crucial, as night travel is prohibited.
07:18This stretch of highway may look like something straight out of a Hot Wheels set, but it's a real road in Norway.
07:34Built in the 1980s, this unusual bridge is the longest of eight along the route.
07:51Extending 23 meters into the sea, locals call it the Drunk Bridge.
08:16Many believe that widening roads will reduce traffic congestion, but that's not always the case.
08:21Just look at this 50-lane highway in China.
08:24After a holiday weekend, families returning home were stuck in traffic for hours.
08:31Mhm
08:34After a holiday weekend, families returning home were stuck in traffic for hours.
08:47After a holiday weekend, families returning home were stuck in traffic for hours.
09:00Vietnam isn't the ideal place to enjoy an audiobook while driving on the road.
09:08And being a pedestrian here is an experience you wouldn't wish on anyone.
09:16The cities are filled with millions of motorcycles, yet surprisingly, they manage to avoid collisions.
09:32It's simpler than it looks.
09:34The lack of traffic signs and lights forces everyone to be more attentive since they can't rely on rules, making each person responsible.
09:46So, even in this chaos, there's a certain logic.
09:58If you grew up in a snowy area, you've probably dug tunnels in the snow.
10:02But Japan took it a step further by carving out an entire road.
10:06Snow Plows
10:17Each year, a team of snow plows works to create a unique experience for tourists.
10:21The walls of the snow corridor reach up to 18 meters high.
10:26The contrast of the blue sky against the vast white walls is truly unique.
10:46The contrast of the blue sky against the vast white walls is truly unique.
10:51unique.
10:59While Lake Baikal is the deepest lake in the world in winter, that doesn't matter.
11:04The ice is so thick that it can even support the weight of a car.
11:28From February to March, a road on the ice opens up, offering an unforgettable journey with
11:33incredible scenery.
11:50The Dalton Highway in Alaska is no place for inexperienced drivers.
12:01It's one of the most isolated roads in the US, with fewer than 100 residents along its
12:06hundreds of miles.
12:13In winter, the road is especially challenging.
12:17Visibility drops to near zero, rivaling the foggiest scenes from Silent Hill.
12:22Relentless crosswinds test your grip on the road, and the surface transforms into a treacherous,
12:28icy slick.
12:29If you choose to travel this road, boredom won't be an issue.
12:45Next time you're stuck in traffic, think of this road.
12:50Located in the Saka Republic in Russia, it's hardly your typical highway.
13:04It's essentially 130 kilometers of clay, making it a monumental challenge for drivers to navigate.
13:20The Stelvio Pass in the Italian apps might appear inviting with its breathtaking views.
13:33But don't let the scenery fool you.
13:35Driving here is no easy task.
13:37This twisting mountain road climbs to an altitude of 2,757 meters and spans 46 kilometers of sharp, hairpin turns.
13:46Each curve hides the unknown, making it a hot spot for accidents.
13:58Fortunately, most drivers take it slow, prioritizing safety over speed.
14:23It might seem incredible, but this railroad bridge, opened in 1900, is still in use today.
14:35Currently, two trains cross it daily.
14:41The Godig Viaduct, located in Myanmar, stands 250 meters high and stretches over 600 meters long.
14:51Despite its fragile appearance, it offers a memorable journey you won't forget.
14:56Iron Mountain Road in the United States offers stunning views that make it worth slowing down.
15:19Not just for safety, but to fully appreciate the scenery.
15:23One of its most remarkable features is the Needles Eye Tunnel, aptly named for its narrow dimensions.
15:30It's a tight squeeze for a bus.
15:33The Needles Eye Tunnel
15:48With the tunnel measuring only 2.4 meters wide and 3.6 meters high.
15:54The Black Bear Road in Colorado earns its name for a good reason.
16:17It's easier for a bear to pass through than a car.
16:24It takes two hours to cover just 19 kilometers.
16:32You're right.
16:33There you go.
16:34All right, now you got it.
16:35Turn hard.
16:36You're good, Bill.
16:37You got it.
16:38Keep running?
16:39Yeah, just like that.
16:40Keep that turn.
16:41Woo!
16:42At nearly 4,000 meters above sea level, it's one of the most dangerous roads in the U.S.
16:55In bad weather, it becomes completely impassable, and frequent rockfalls only add to the danger.
17:10Mount Shiamen in China is a major tourist destination with several ways to reach it.
17:24One option is the 99 Benz Road, also known as Avenue to the Sky, which climbs over 1,500 meters from the mountain's base.
17:35While it's an engineering marvel, its hairpin turns and status as one of the world's 10 most dangerous roads lead many visitors to opt for the cable car instead.
17:45One of the most dangerous roads in China is the most dangerous road.
18:08Typically, bridges are high above water, but this floating bridge in China is different.
18:13Vehicles up to 2.8 tons can drive almost on the surface of the Qing River.
18:28For safety, the speed limit is 20 kilometers per hour.
18:32At just 400 meters long and surrounded by stunning landscapes, it's a place where no one feels the need to rush.
18:39These aren't views from the cockpit of a ship, they're of the Passage du Gois, a French road linking the island of Neuermortier with the mainland.
19:07For most of the day, the road is submerged underwater, with depths ranging from 1.5 to 4 meters.
19:17Built on a dike, it's only passable twice a day during low tide.
19:25Although it's just 4 kilometers long, drivers can't always make it across in time, so it's a good idea to keep a lifeboat in the trunk.
19:41This is the Guoyang Tunnel in China.
19:59Yes, it's carved along and through the mountain.
20:02It stands as a remarkable example of human perseverance, as it was built by local villagers who needed a road to reach nearby settlements.
20:16Over the course of five years, they managed to create this 1.2 kilometer long road.
20:23In doing so, they turned their hometown into a popular tourist attraction.
20:35It's often said that the most dangerous part of air travel is the drive to the airport.
20:54In this case, that's probably true.
20:57This is the road leading to Jamla Airport, nestled in the mountains of Nepal.
21:03After this journey, turbulence won't phase you.
21:21Here, you'll face hundreds of sharp turns along sheer cliffs that drop hundreds of meters.
21:26This 36 kilometer road, with its staggering 600 sharp curves, is enough to make your head spin just at the sight of it.
21:55Built in 2019, it traces the path of the ancient Silk Road.
22:02Despite its modest length, the journey takes between two to four hours.
22:20Luckily, the breathtaking scenery along the way makes the trip well worth it.
22:29This abandoned lead time in Thailand has found new life as a tourist attraction.
22:44It's been transformed into a tunnel.
23:01Known locally as the 3D Cave Tunnel.
23:04The winding underground path stretches for 50 kilometers, so hiring a guide is essential.
23:11You might think this road in Utah is just another dirt path.
23:26But it's far more treacherous than it appears.
23:36While it's manageable in dry conditions, even a little rain can make it dangerously slick.
23:41Local guides strongly recommend waiting for the road to dry before attempting to drive.
24:00With sharp curves and potential landslides, the risk of sliding into the river valley below is dangerously high.
24:24The seven-mile bridge in Florida gets its name from its impressive length.
24:41Connecting the islands of the Florida Keys, it has a storied history.
24:49In 1935, a devastating hurricane destroyed the original bridge.
24:54In the 1980s, a new bridge was built nearby, while the old one was repurposed as a pedestrian bridge.
25:00When it opened, the new bridge held the title of the longest continuous concrete segmental bridge in the world.
25:28This is perhaps one of the most unusual markets in the world, as it is located right next to an active railroad.
25:41Every day, 20 trains pass through at a speed of just 30 kilometers per hour.
25:46When a train approaches, merchants quickly clear their stalls to make way.
25:59This balcony road in France is ideal for drivers who have conquered their fear of heights.
26:14It consists of narrow mountain passes carved into ranges and gorges.
26:18The key challenge is avoiding oncoming traffic, as there's barely enough space for one car, let alone two.
26:32In such cases, someone will have to reverse to let the other pass.
26:36Bangladesh is another place where road chaos reigns.
26:53Here, traffic jams start not in the city center, but on the outskirts.
27:08In the last decade, the average traffic speed has dropped from 21 kilometers per hour to just seven.
27:25And the sound of it all?
27:35It's as if drivers are using their horns to create even more chaos.
27:42If you think Africa is all sunshine and brightness, think again.
