Have you heard of death roads? I hadn’t until my dad sent me some photos of this one in Colombia. One look and you’ll understand where the name came from.
This one is Trampolin de la Muerte – a route between Mocoa and Pasto. It’s about 65km (35 miles) along rocky road that will lead you over two summits up to 2800m (9000 feet) above sea level.
I can promise, under no circumstances would you ever get me on a road like this.
What about you… would you travel the Trampolin de la Muerte?

Oh my. And yet, so many are on it! What’s the truck with one-wheel-off do??

I have no idea what they do, Jaqui. But apparently that’s how the majority of people die on this road – rain turns trickles into torrents and washes away section sof road, sometimes with vehicles on them 🙁

Oh, hells to the no! I’m acrophobic enough. Bridges make me nervous. That? No way.

I’m just glad Colombia isn’t on my list of must see countries to visit! No way would I travel over that road.

Uhhh, no thanks. Colorado has some intimidating high elevation roads, but not as hairy as these. Yikes!! No way I could do that.

It makes me wonder if the locals use it regularly and just accept it, avoid it completely or use it daily with great fear?
