Places to visit...

This list of great locations/cool adventures is sorted solely based on the time I came across them:

* Bolivia - Bolivia's much-advertised Most Dangerous Road (a k a Death Road) descends 12,000 feet over 40 miles from a mountain pass near La Paz. Now replaced by a modern road for motor traffic, it survives as a bicycle path -- third-world infrastructure turned into a tourist attraction.

* Bolivia - At 4,000 square miles, the vastness and whiteness of Salar de Uyuni (salt desert) can be seen from space.
