Hehehehee..It's a "road" and only road to get from La Paz to Coroico.. U go up like 20,000 feet almost to sea level.. All over the road there are rock slides from melting ice above.. I heard they did pave it now.. But it is still one scary drive.. lol......

The paving of it probably just mad it more dangers since it would give drivers a false sense of security. And can you imagine the ice and sliding right over the edge? Oh hell no!

Al Gore is Global Warming. Not Global Cooling. At 20K ft there is permanent ice and snow whether your near the Equator or not. But give Al a little time and he may change his view if it will make him more money. LOL
