Colombia Ruta 10 Difficulty: 10/10

Trampolín de la Muerte (The Death Springboard)

Widely regarded as one of the most treacherous yet breathtaking motorcycle adventure routes in the world. Carved into the sheer vertical walls of the Colombian Andes where the Amazon basin collides with the cloud forests of Putumayo. A single-lane unpaved track with 2,000-foot vertical drops, roaring waterfalls cascading directly onto the road, blind hairpins with no guardrails, and rapid elevation shifts from tropical rainforest to freezing páramo.
