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.

Recently, I wrote about how technology is taking over the Backpacking world. On my recent trip to Barcelona, I encountered the vigorous battle against technology. Getting lost in a city without Google Maps or Unlimited iPhone Data.

It’s easier to find travel news, travel deals and informative articles about interesting destinations.
