The world's most spectacular roads

I think the website name is a bit misleading in some ways. It's more about spectacular rather than dangerous roads.

The Death Road of Bolivia historically was a very dangerous road. Since a modern highway was built across the valley that runs in twisting parallel, it was my impression that the heavy truck traffic has moved off the narrow road with its sheer drop offs. Yet the accidents continue.

Definitely worth a ride. You can't really say you rode Bolivia without going there. When I was there the road was mostly trafficked by by clots of mountain bikers brought by the van load from backpacker hostels in La Paz.

The road up the backside of Machu Picchu from Santa Maria to Santa Teressa is rather hair raising and includes several water crossing those depth depends solely of the amount of recent rainfall.

That's a great site. I have already done some of them (South africa), and will do more soon in my travel from Lisbon to Singapore on R1200GSA.
