Less then one hour drive from La Paz, Bolivia is Death Road (El Camino del Muerte) which is claimed to be the worlds most dangerous road. Estimates show there has been over three hundred deaths since the road has opened. Along the road there are several religious Christian crosses saying ‘In Memory Of’. It starts at 4,700 meters high dropping to about 2,000 meters stretching about 70km in length with a 3300m decent in altitude. What exactly makes this road so dangerous though?

Teresa and I have recently went on a three day tour starting in Uyuni, Bolivia and passing through the many attractions in the surrounding area including Salar de Uyuni, Laguna Verde, hot springs, and lots of the beautiful nature Bolivia has to offer in the south. After going to about 6 different agencies,we had found that nearly all gave around the same price and could only bargain a small amount if possible. Most tours pass by the same exact places as well. After three days, we found all agencies failed to mentioned a few things.

Lonely Planet is looking for your opinion on travel itself! I myself could not get into the survey due to the United States, 25, Male section being full. Give it a shot and let us know how the survey was.

Yes, there’s actually an unwritten backpacker code all backpackers must follow. Whether you follow them or not, determines if you’re a true backpacker. The community is wide spread throughout the world. We share the common interest of travel itself. The code is simple and known by most backpackers without having to think about it.

Eventually most of us need to settle somewhere for work and make a home for ourselves. Your travels become memories shared with our family and friends about the journey you had. Then comes the full time work, bills, and other responsibilities you had to never worry about while traveling.
