Going for a road trip is an excellent way to enjoy
vacations. There are many roads that can provide one with an opportunity to see
natures very best, undiluted landscape while enjoying the pleasure of driving
along. Given below are few of the world’s best roads to drive that could give
one a life time full of memory.
1) North Yungas
Road – Bolivia – Road of Death
The North
Yungas Road is also called El Camino de la Muerte
which is the Spanish for “Road of Death”. It is a forty three mile road that
leads to La Paz to Coroico situated 35 miles
northeast of La Paz in Bolivia. Though
the road is breathtaking when seen in a picture, it can be a little scary and
takes extreme caution to drive through the road.
2) Atlantic
Road – Norway
This is a five mile long stretch of road connecting Molde
and Kristiansund in Norway.
This road was voted as Norwegian construction of the century because it rides
above some rough and uneven surfaces. The road itself rises and falls at many
places like a sea at the time of rough tide.
3) Blue Ridge – USA
This Blue Ridge
Parkway located in North Carolina one of the most serene roads
in the world. It is 496 mile long stretch of road specially designed so that travelers
experience the magical panoramic view of undiluted nature.
4) Columbia
George Highway 30 – USA
The Columbia George Highway 30 is described by many as the
ultimate drive for those who enjoy the scenic pleasure in North
America. Traveling through the road might seem like passing
through a fairly land and could invoke memories of the silver screen to life.
5) Guoliang Tunnel – China
Like the North Yungas in Bolivia,
the Guoliang Tunnel is also situated high up in the Taihang
Mountains in China. The tunnel
passes through the side of an almost vertical section of a mountain with many
holes that looks likes windows. Traveling this road is extremely thrilling
because of the seemingly bottomless cliff right next to it.
6) Amalfi Coast
Road – Italy
This road running though the cost of Amalfi in Italy is one of
the most romantic roads in the world. The captivating view from the road is so
beautiful that the road has now become a famous tourist attraction. The road is
draped with tiny Italian villages near the coast.
7) Three Capes
Route – USA
The three capes route is located on the coast of Oregon and eventually runs into the Cape Kiwanda
drive. The proximity to beautiful blue sea on one side, and lush green forest
on the other makes this road unparalleled experience that needs to be felt to
understand.
8)
Transfagarasan Road – Romania
This road in Romania
connects the Moldoveanu and Negoiu, two of the tallest mountains in Romania located in the Carpathian
Mountains. The road runs North-South through the mountain range
that is clad in rich green natural beauty. The height of the road makes one
feels as though it leads to the heaven.
9) Red Rock
Scenic Road – USA
The Red Rock
Scenic Road provides a splendid view of the sun
baked nature of Arizona
in all its glory. The road passes through Montezuma
