A very popular path through the Andreas Mountains between Chile and Argentina. A maze of steep inclines and hairpins without guard rails and the road is covered with snow for the most part of the year. Buy an airline ticket and fly back and forth between the two countries.
North Yungas Road, Bolivia
This road is also known as the "Road of Death." It's a single-lane road, so why do these trucks try to pass each other are they nuts? It's a long drop down without guardrails. There's also fog and rain to contend with including mudslides caused by moisture.
Stelvio Pass Road, Italy
The eastern Alps countryside of Italy are incredibly breathtaking. This zig-zag stretch of road at 1.7 miles above sea level has approximately 48 hairpin bends. It's beautiful to look at from a distance, but wouldn't be easier to fly over the Alps to get to the other side?
Taroko Gorge Road, Taiwan (Chungheng)
A tunnel with no lights off a cliff equals a disaster waiting to happen. Tourist love it because it passes right through a national park. At least there's a cement guard rail system.
The Way to Fairy Meadows, Pakistan
You know when they tell you not to look down when you're scared of heights, don't look down! No shoulder, no guard rail, no hope.
Trollstigen, Norway
Trollstigen translated means "Troll's Ladder." Dizzy hairpins, almost impossible to pass another car on this narrow road and then put the danger of falling rocks with steep inclines that leave you with a case of vertigo… why oh why drive here? Tourist are attracted by the beautiful 1000ft waterfall off the side of the mountain. You want to see a waterfall, fly to Hawaii. It's safer and you can get a tan.
