The road to this Andean town is extreme. It’s said to be one of the most dangerous roads in the country. It’s gravel, 4x4 vehicles only, and impassable for 2 cars at the same time. This road tests the skill, and courage, of any driver. It’s definitely not for anyone suffering from vertigo or a fear of landslides.
This scary and dangerous cliff road leading to the town can get very muddy and slippery after rain making it challenging to get through. During and after a storm the road may be impassable, even with a four-wheel-drive vehicle. Avalanches, heavy snowfalls and landslides can occur anytime.
