The North Yungas Road (alternatively known as Grove's Road, Coroico Road, Camino de las Yungas, Road of fate or Death Road) is a 61-or-69-kilometre (38 or 43 mi) road leading from La Paz to Coroico, 56 kilometres northeast of La Paz in the Yungas region of Bolivia. It is legendary for its extreme danger and in 1995 the Inter-American Development Bank christened it as the "world's most dangerous road".
Mountain biking enthusiasts in particular have made it a favourite destination for downhill biking since there is a 64-kilometre (40 mi) stretch of continuous downhill riding with only one short uphill section. There are now many tour operators catering to this activity, providing information, guides, transport, and equipment.

Though unnervingly vacant at times, this timeworn street is always included in lists of things to see in La Paz, and for good reason.

The narrow, cobblestone alley is lined with well-preserved colonial buildings. Strolling down Calle Jaén is like stepping back in La Paz's republican history. The charming old district is home to high-end artisans selling alpaca sweaters and chullo hats, as well as several museums and small art galleries.

Calle Jaén is a favorite place for travelers to find an outdoor table and sip coco tea or api, and spend a few moments imagining themselves in another era.
