Human built WTF among a spectacular bit of nature. Who's afraid of heights?
If the embedded video isn't working here's a link directly to the site.
El Caminito del Ray (also known as El Camino del Ray) means "The King's Little Walk". It was constructed to provide a walkway over the falls for workers building dams on the river.
The walk has been officially closed since 2000 due to a spate of deaths. But of course, some thrillseekers still get in and walk the trail. Most of the way the only thing between you and death is a wire trailing along the cliff face.
