This is the most dangerous road in the world, hundreds of people lose their lives every year (Photo)

At 64 miles[64 km]long, it was once the only road connecting the towns of La Paz and Coroico in the Yunga region.

200 to 300 people lost their lives on this road every year, so in 1995 it was declared the most dangerous in the world. Because of this designation, it gained immense popularity around the world.

Meanwhile, a new road has been built on the second track and the old one has been used for tourist purposes in recent years.

Today it is mostly visited by cyclists and adrenaline enthusiasts and every year about 25 thousand tourists pass.

Local tourist leader Diego Del Carpio says that before arriving on the road, they first visit the Apacheta shrine.

After we get the permit, we ride the bikes on the road. We see a 180 degree landscape and witness the formation of glaciers due to geological processes and weather change.

The descent down the road takes several hours, starting at an altitude of 4,670 meters and ending at 1,100 meters in Yolosa.

It is almost three meters wide, without a fence and nothing that would offer any safety to the vehicles. The most serious road accident in Bolivia occurred in July 1983 on this very road when a bus fell into an abyss where 100 people lost their lives.

Everyone knows that there is no place on the map of planet Earth that has not been explored by humans. But here is a place where even the bravest adventurer has not managed to get in and get information.

The North Sentinel Island, in the Bay of Bengal, has the last population on earth that has not been contacted by modern civilization for at least 50,000 years.

But how do the inhabitants of this island do not contact anyone? Hitting with bows and arrows anyone who steps on that place.

Top Albania Radio writes that the latest victim was an American Christian missionary who wanted to contact them and try to spread his religion.
