    That picture reminds me of the movie the "Motorcycle Diaries". It is all in Spanish with subtitles but it is a good movie about a young Ernesto "Che" Guevara.

    Great movie. Maybe in 20 years two guys can take a trip like that in an old Prius nicknamed "The Mighty One"...

    In fact, those pictures are of the Yungas Road in Bolivia, which has been labelled the most dangerous road in the world.
    There are several more pictures of that road that are much more exciting. See attachment.

    Ah, old times. I remember driving around those types of roads without protection barriers in Chile and Argentina. I can tell you that I never fell asleep on those roads because they were so narrow at times that 2 cars wouldn't be able to safely pass each other without stopping.

    But I agree with you. Don't drive on those roads; MPG would be a killer and traction control would go on strike!
