Pan American Highway, Costa Rica
From series “Most Dangerous and Lethal Roads”Lenght: 48 000 km.
The world famous Pan-American Highway passes through the territory of 15 countries and has a length of 48,000 kilometres. It can freely be qualified as the global ‘’road’’ attractions. One of the sections of an extended road also appears in the statistics as the most dangerous one. It is about the Pan American Highway which passes through the territory of Costa Rica.
The stretch of highway passing through the territory of the country, leads to a unique natural sight - beautiful tropical forests. To get to the scenic spots any other way is impossible so thousands of people hit the ‘’bloody road’’ at risk to their lives. The main distinguishing feature of the Pan-American Highway is the poor quality of road coverage. There is no road surface on certain sections of the route and the drivers have to overcome many difficult areas, passing through the mountains.
