NOPE!
You wouldn't need to be crazy but it would sure help.
On 2 wheels [except for the waterfall] perhaps - 4 wheels nah.
Wasn't sure but you would be praying it was only one way…..
:oo::oo::oo::oo::oo::oo::oo: I wouldn't even walk along that!!!:no::no:
Went on a road like that up in the Andes from Santiago and it was sealed.
Frightened all sorts of stuphph out of me,especially when we ended up behind
a truckload of readymix concrete swaying from side to side!!!:o
On the way back down, apart from watching some Condors soaring overhead,
the real joy was when the driver stopped at a bend where a carload of 5 Brazilians
had plunged about 800 metres to their death!!!
In a word
NO
In 4 words. :DQuote:

Some of the switchbacks were so tight the Bambino could not make the turns in one go and he either had to 3 point turn them or break the traction to perform a rally controlled rally slide turn. What made it extra exciting was at night after a skin full of grappa. Most of these tracks were closed but he knew how to go through his cousins daughter in laws back yard to gain access. He also had a "special key" to get access to some tracks.
"Oh no... I can't close the window!"
I couldn't quite read the company name on the side of the bus, but I think it looked like "Brown Eye Adventures" :wink:
Reminds me of a ride the wife and I took in the mountains of Nepal in a little green van driven by a mad Gurkha.
You nearly got it right. It was "Clencher Adventures".Quote:

+1... I am scared just watching this on video!
I rode a similar road from Siliguri to Gangtok. It was monsoon and we had to bribe the road maintenance guys to let us past a rock slide. Interesting trip.
