*make sure to click on some of the photos to enlarge. they are spectacular! especially the first on the right, my favorite.I recently was turned onto one of the most amazing YouTube videos I had ever seen! My jaw locked wide as I viewed the 6 minute clip that I have posted below. It is of El Camino Del Rey a narrow 3 foot wide path built into the side of a cliff wall 900 feet up. Built in 1905 for construction workers to move supplies between to water falls in southern Spain, El Camino Del Rey alas has fallen into serious disrepair & only now temps the bravest climbers.

Now we move over to China where there is a mammoth staircase, plank walk ways & there is no way you can look down in search Daosist temples high atop Mount Hua. Travelers to Mt. Huang/Hua Shan have come experience death-defying & awe-inspiring views like no other on the planet. Below is a short video of just a small portion of the trek that is like nothing you have seen before.

Lastly, on down to South America & into the jungles of Bolivia to travel the infamous Yungas 'Death' Road. This is a narrow dirt road that connects two smaller towns with La Paz that has heavy traffic flow despite the 200 to 300 deaths a year! The video below is a great little insight into traveling the Death Road & making it out alive.
