World’s Most Dangerous Roads | Bolivia - The Road to Death in the Andes | Free Documentary 

The Carretera de la Muerte - the road of death- is one of the most dangerous roads in the world. Year after year many people die here. We accompany trucker Omar and his co-driver Jaime on their trip across the Andes, encountering cyclists, mountain bikers, and coca farmers on the way. Some fun and not so fun facts about Bolivia 🇧🇴 1. Bolivia's Yungas Road was called the "world's most dangerous road" by the Inter-American Development Bank, called (El Camino de la Muerte) in Spanish. The northern portion of the road, much of it unpaved and without guardrails, was cut into the Cordillera Oriental Mountain in the 1930s. 2. Bolivia is a landlocked country located in western-central South America. The constitutional capital is Sucre, while the seat of government and executive capital is La Paz. 3. Its geography varies from the peaks of the Andes in the West to the Eastern Lowlands, situated within the Amazon basin. It is bordered to the north and east by Brazil, to the southeast by Paraguay, to the south by Argentina, to the southwest by Chile, and to the northwest by Peru. 4. Before Spanish colonization, the Andean region of Bolivia was part of the Inca Empire, while the northern and eastern lowlands were inhabited by independent tribes. Spanish conquistadors arriving from Cusco and Asunción took control of the region in the 16th century. 5. Bolivia is named after Simón Bolívar, a Venezuelan leader in the Spanish-American wars of independence. 6. The United States Central Intelligence Agency(CIA) financed and trained the Bolivian military dictatorship in the 1960s. The revolutionary leader Che Guevara was killed by a team of CIA officers and members of the Bolivian Army on 9 October 1967, in Bolivia.

I must say I have so much respect for all the drivers of this dangerous road. I’m just an American watching from my couch on RU-vid on my cell phone realizing just how spoiled and blessed I am when watching a video like this and it makes me feel humble to say the least. Again, much respect to all of you driving these roads and living a life so many couldn’t do. Thank you for showing the world what you do and sacrifice everyday but also, thank you so showing us the beauty of your country.

I was on that road in 1976. There were chickens flying around our passenger bus. The bus got a flat and he had no jack so we had to dig a hole under the bus by hand and prop it up with rocks to change the tire. Lots of Catholic style little memorials along the way. I was too young (about 19) to recognize the danger and through if was a beautiful scenic drive. At one point I looked out the window and directly next to our bus was about a 500 ft straight cliff drop and I did see crashed trucks and vehicles down at the bottom. I am almost 70 now and have vivid visual memories of that road often through the years.

Absolutely look forward to these documentaries they're amazing it reminds me of the days when Discovery channel was actually still good

What an incredible, beautiful and enigmatic country is Bolivia. Whatever they lack in technology and infrastructure they compensates in natural beauty and human charisma.

Thank you guys for always taking me on a FREE tour of the world from the comfort of my couch 👏

Soy boliviano y estoy orgulloso porque Discovery channel trabajo en bolivia para el documental😊

"DIFFICULT ROADS LEAD TO BEAUTIFUL DESTINATIONS" we love ur documentary videos. 👌

The Next Fast & The Furious Movie Should Be Casted Around This Area.

Fantastic drone footage in this video.I drove trucks for 25 years and sometimes thought my job was hard but nothing like what many drivers in this series have to do often hat's off to them.

The bravery of trucker Omar and his co-driver Jaime as they navigate the treacherous Carretera de la Muerte is truly gripping. This documentary brings to light the incredible challenges they face, alongside the unique encounters along the way. Thanks for sharing this powerful journey.

Hermosa Bolivia saludos hermanos desde Buenos Aires Argentina

I'm Bolivian, and when I was child, I used to cross the Death Road, now I love it, specially when I go by Bike, is an amazing experience. 100 points.

These guys are real truck drivers.

What a beautiful country ❤️

Thanks to everyone who made this documentary especially the tireless but cunning cameramen.

Love from India for providing these awesome docomentry in these tough times... God Bless your team

i live in south america. chewing coca leaves has been used for more than 5,000 years. coffee has only been used for 2,000. also coca leaves are extremely healthy, full of vitamins and other important nutrients. it's great for bones, digestive system and a natural sustain energy that's better and without the crash like coffee. the only down side is that bad people can use coca leaves to make drugs =(

watching from indonesia. i love this documentary. the world is vast and diverse!! respect to the the driver of this road.

С КАКИМ ТРУДОМ И ЭКСТРЕМАЛЬНО ---- СПАСИБО ВСЕМ ДАЛЬНОБОЙЩИКАМ!🤲🤲🤲❤❤❤

Mi padre era chofer Peruano manejaba lugares peligrosos de los ANDES pero este camino la ruta de la muerte es IMPRECIONANTE.😳

I got chills at the back of my neck just by looking at the video. Much respect to the drivers and their passion to work hard to drive in that dangerous road. I wish someone could fix it to make it safer at least.

This channel is GLOBAL channel Happy that We as a family watch the series' Comment down your country I am from INDIA 🇮🇳🇮🇳❤️❤️

Thank you guts for this very nice trip Please please be careful. May God Bless You .

Beautiful journey on dangerous roads.

the driver loved his crew,, respect him

Me gusta mucho como toman con estilo y tranquilidad su trabajo de estos valientes operadores de estos enormes camiones saludos desde Morelia Michoacán México

Thank God (From India 🇮🇳)

These documentaries are a great production

Hermosa carretera, qué ganas de ir a recorrer en moto, espero poder rodar pronto por ahí. Hermosos paisajes.

The people there are so lucky to have such breathtaking views of mountains and forest,so beautiful,and the monkey was obedient too.

Big up to the camera man ...the scenery is breathtaking and beautiful makes it look less dangerous

Great documentary as always!!, Thanks for sharing Watching from India🇮🇳🇮🇳

Seguramente ese camino no se pensó originalmente para camiones. No sé qué antigüedad tenga, pero tiene dimensiones como para transitarlo a pie; a lomo de mula; o en pequeños carros. Los camiones modernos son cada vez más grandes, y están pensados para llevar muchas toneladas de carga. Manejar esos vehículos grandes y pesados por esos caminos requiere de una pericia, y una valentía que pocos tienen. Se nota que Omar es un chofer muy profesional, se toma muy en serio su trabajo, y es muy precavido. Él puede ver a diario los accidentes que se producen por descuido; por cansancio; o por una mala maniobra. No hace falta que nadie le recomiende que tenga cuidado al conducir por la Carretera de la Muerte. Excelente documental, y hermosamente filmado. Saludos desde Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Been waiting for this 😋😋😋

Nice work, great footage. Enjoying this from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹

I love this channel.. I can travel any places in the world

Beautiful video, enjoyed as if I am traveling on this road, appreciation from India 🇮🇳

I come from Bali - Island of Indonesia, I'm proud of the truck driver, they're very brave, I don't have confidence driving on top the cliff like in Bolivia, many road on highland so dangerous, but the scenery so beautiful in Bolivia

The latino accent of the narrator makes this documentary so modest and interesting to watch.

Absolutely Amazing !!!! Cliff Truckers !!! WOW~~

It's so lively made documentry, the angles of photography made so easy to believe Bolivian dangerous mountain roads while sitting in the plain corners of my loved country India. Thanks for such a nice documentary made on the life of so many young people as well those who are pushing so hard in thier life to offer the optimum smile, love and food for their families.

Watching from New Zealand 🇳🇿. Huge Respect and Aroha to Omar and the fim crew. 💯💯🙏

Un saludo desde Colombia y lo único que no estoy de acuerdo es lo del monito privarlo de su habito y libertad y ofrezco disculpas a quienes estén en lado opuesto por lo demás mis respetos y admiración al piloto del camión hermosos paisajes y parajes admirables un abrazo a sus productores desde hoy me suscribiré con el fin de conocer mas de estas maravillas de nuestro planeta infinitas Gracias.

These documentaries are addictive 🙆🙂

A fantastic documentary. Great to watch & very informative. 👍👍👍

Colours are gorgeous rich. Enjoyed the ride.

I love your documentary. Watching from Zambia

Life in the modern world is devastating.only corporate octopus tentacles everywhere. Agricuture medicine education every where. Do we need so much. Free Documentary is soul searching and Lord Buddhas incarnation. God give u long life. Luv from lndia state of Assam

Very nice video & story, 👍 whatching from Guatemala. 🇬🇹✌😎

All videos of dangerous roads to school must be watched by European students, satisfied and with all the conveniences of learning. To see how children without opportunities want to learn and do not stop at any difficulties to get to school. I am shocked. I embrace these children, parents and teachers with all my heart. My big bow to them.

There are many amazing things on our planet. Both scary and beautiful, and dangerous. I love it too.

Desde Ecuador saludos para el chofercito gran profesional

Born in the US, raised in La Paz and Santa Cruz Bolivia many years past. The country is stunning but it can be intimidating at times. The Collas are such a patient people, work like dogs eking out a meager living on the Altiplano where my familia used to drive on holidays. If my memory serves me, I rode a bus from Santa Cruz to La Paz, and may have been on la carretera de la muerte. The little oxygen is what I remember well. An assistant driver went down the aisle with a bag of oxygen with a hose for those of us not accustomed to the thin air. And yeah, there were many but many crosses and altars along the roads from vehicles running off and splatter the occupants on the deep rocky canyons far below. At times it took weeks or more to retrieve the corpses. Older, I now only take a commercial flight everywhere in Bolivia. I do miss the best years as I was being raised in Bolivia.

Great documentary. Btw Volvo must be pleased with this aswell😁

Great documentary , thank you for posting ! these truck drivers are so courageous , Omar is very experienced and patient truck driver , I wish him and the others safe trips !

Loved it Really good documentary

Muy bueno el reportaje.. en la proxima con subtituloa en español..soy de Santa Cruz Bolivia. EUGENIO HOYOS

Dios bendiga a los Bolivianos que transitan por las carreteras mas peligrosas del mundo como lo muestra el reportaje del video. Estamos en pleno siglo 21, yo diría que, falta el apoyo del gobierno central hoy en día hay ingenieros expertos en ampliar y pavimentar carreteras sea como sea el terreno pero con la ayuda de Dios todo es posible. Me gusta ver como está formado los Andes Bolivianos. Saludos desde la Brigada Mixco Guatemala C.A.

Best documentaries online..The narration is so cool and soothing even though the life of the subjects is tough and difficult.

I like watching these documentaries they are amazing may god always be with Omar and his friend

I stayed in Cochabamba, Bolivia in 2006, the sweetest people on earth in spite of all of their hardships.

This series of documentary is amazing extreme driving.

Death road series are really thrilling and adventurous but dangerous on the other hand Keep the good work up

It seems like in every one of these videos people from the other countries are so nice and are so happy with just the bare minimum of things still so kind to one another I wish American people could take some lessons in that

This channel never disappoints, great work guys👌

that was amazing! loved the documentry!!! cheers!!!

Wonderful.we too have great roads like this in india

Bolivia is so beatiful. the people have a good heart...wish to travel there someday.

Imagine feeling the need to thank God every time you survive a stretch you regularly drive.

always be careful my brother.. greetings from INDONESIA..

I went over this road in 1979 without knowing what I was in for. Under waterfalls, seat on the outside edge. Whew! Peligroso fuera.

I am addicted to this show, getting to tour the world without the hustle.

I’ve been the Yungas area in Bolivia. Bolivia built a new paved and safe highway a few years ago to reach these areas. So people who go on that highway only go on there if they want to. The highway is mostly used for extreme cycling tours now. It’s a beautiful area!

Excellent documentary. Wouldn’t travel those cliffs for any amt of money 😮😮😮
