Death Road Coroico

Leave a Comment / Bolivia, Road Trips /

To most people, Bolivia’s El Camino de la Muerte is a high-speed checklist item to fly down on a mountain bike. But for me, from 1991 to 2010, it was simply the road home. I spent twenty years navigating these single-lane cliffs to build and run Hotel Esmeralda. When the modern bypass highway opened in 2006, it transformed the region.

From visiting underground mines just months before they vanished in a massive landslide to navigating canyon rapids overgrown with giant ferns, this journey captures a landscape that has since been reclaimed by time.
