From the start (above) at 15,200 feet  it pauses for a while on the snow-flecked crest of the Andes before pitching – like a giant white-knuckle ride – into the abyss descending to about 11,000 feet to an elevation of 4,000 feet – wow an 11,000 foot descent over 40 miles = cool

Set a world record for driving a Toyota off road to the highest elevation
