Coroico is only at 70km from La Paz (45 miles). Nevertheless this village is at 1700m height (5600-ft.) and a 4600m-height pass (15000-ft.) has to be climbed for reaching it. The 3000m (10000-ft.) difference in height has to be driven down on a literally dreadful track. This "road" is known for being the most dangerous of America, Its cliffs are vertiginous and a 1000m (3000-ft.) dive is always possible with a careless mistake. Fortunately this road will soon be part from the past because a new broad asphalt-way which is being built.
