Quepos Bridge, Costa Rica - Known as the "bridge of Death"

Dubbed the "bridge of death," the Quepos Bridge in Costa Rica is a notorious crossing with a fearsome reputation. This single-lane bridge consists of old railway tracks and wooden planks, many of which are missing or loose. Cars and trucks must navigate carefully to avoid slipping through the gaps. The bridge sways with the weight of each vehicle, creating a nerve-wracking experience for drivers and passengers alike, maybe not for the best.

The absence of guardrails and the rickety structure make this a high-risk crossing. It’s a bridge that demands caution and a healthy dose of courage.
