Andy's South American travel blog
6 p.m., 16th March Today is our last day in La Paz, the capital of Bolivia. Tomorrow Max and I are going to Coroico,a town about 60 kilometres from here. We're taking a bus along the North Yungas Road,also known as “Death Road”. It goes along steep(陡峭的) hillsides and cliffs. People call it the most dangerous road in the world! There are hundreds of accidents on it every year.
9 a.m., 17th March I find out more about the North Yungas Road. It's only about 3 metres wide,and in some parts there's a drop of at least 600 metres. That's more than half a kilometre! There's no barrier(屏障) along the side of the road. And there's often rain or fog,which makes it even more dangerous. I find out another thing. Here in Bolivia,they drive on the right side of the road. But on the North Yungas Road,they drive on the left. Why? Because this means that the driver on the dangerous side of the road can see the edge(边线) of the road more easily. The driver's seat is on the left side of the bus,so the driver is close to the edge. Our bus is leaving in an hour!
8 p.m., 17th March We get to Coroico safely. It is terrifying sometimes! But there is no rain or fog. Our driver tells us the road is safer than it used to be,and he's driven it many times before. He doesn't drive fast,and we never go too close to the edge. Thank you,Mr Bus Driver!

今天是我们在玻利维亚首都拉巴斯的最后一天。明天我和马克斯将前往科罗伊科，一个距离这里约60公里的小镇。我们将乘坐公共汽车沿着北永加斯路行驶，这条路也被称为“死亡之路”。它沿着陡峭的山坡和悬崖延伸。人们称它为世界上最危险的道路！每年在这条路上都会发生数百起事故。
3月17日 上午9点
我了解到更多关于北永加斯路的情况。它只有大约3米宽，在某些路段，落差至少有600米。那超过半公里了！道路旁边没有屏障。而且经常下雨或有雾，这使得它更加危险。我还发现了另一件事。在玻利维亚，人们在道路的右侧行驶。但在北永加斯路上，人们在左侧行驶。为什么呢？因为这样一来，在道路危险一侧的司机可以更容易地看到道路的边缘。司机的座位在公共汽车的左侧，所以司机离边缘很近。我们的公共汽车一小时后就要出发了！
3月17日 晚上8点
我们安全抵达了科罗伊科。有时候真的很吓人！但没有下雨也没有雾。我们的司机告诉我们，这条路比以前安全了，而且他以前已经开过很多次了。他开得不快，我们也从来没有离边缘太近。谢谢你，公共汽车司机先生！
