Coroico

Breakfast in Coroico. Perfect.

The Road to Coroico

View from the early part of the route from La Paz to Coroico--prior to descending.

The road to Coroico taught me to take the highs with the lows.

After three busy days in La Paz, we traveled to Coroico--a small village in a subtropical climate with spectacular views.  Coroico originally became famous, or rather infamous, for the ¨Death Road¨--a steep, winding dirt road off which many drivers have plummeted. This road now only serves as a bike path and tourist destination, though bikers still die zooming around its bends.

The new road, we were told, is much better than the Death Road, though it still managed to terrify me.
