lists the five most dangerous roads in South America. In this video Ill show you where two of them are and what they have to offer.
From the list:
#2 Paso De Los Libertadores In Argentina & Chile – Although Chile and Argentina share more than 5,000 miles of the border, due to the mighty Andes, there are only a few places in which to cross. One of the most nerve-racking, albeit beautiful passes is the Paso de Los Libertadores. This popular pass forms the main connection between Los Andes, Chile and Mendoza, Argentina. The Argentine side is much less intimidating with a gradual incline before reaching a tunnel into Chile. The Chilean side has some switchbacks, and sharp hairpin turns. Take this side of the pass extra slowly.
#5 Route 319 In Brazil – Unlike many of the roads featured in this list, Brazil’s Route 319 is a relatively flat highway cutting through the Amazon Rainforest. The highway stretched some 500 miles and was built to link Porto Velho and Manaus. Manaus is the capital of the state of Amazonas and the main jumping off point for stays in the rainforest. What makes this highway particularly troublesome is the state of the road itself. Poor construction methods and flooding during the rainy season have washed the road away and destroyed wooden bridges, but for our thrill seekers, this is the way to go.
The rest of the top five found on the website is to my knowledge not part of EAA. Yet.
