a car driving down a road next to a rocky mountain side with a yellow sign

The road to San José de Parac, a mountain town at 3.815m (12,516ft) asl, in Peru, is said to be one of the scariest roads of the country. It’s a cliff road bordered by a drop of hundreds of meters unprotected by guardrails. If you're afraid of heights, it's probably best to keep your eyes forward. The surreal road finds its way through the rocks, above the dangerous drop off. It’s totally unpaved but navigable by all passenger vehicles.
