Photospot

Perched daringly on a cliff edge deep in the Iya Valley, you'll find this quirky statue with a breathtaking backstory. Legend has it local boys would prove their courage on this very spot, a tradition now immortalized in bronze. The view down to the emerald river is absolutely dizzying and makes for an unforgettable photo stop. Be ready for a memorable drive; the road here is famously narrow and winding, but the spectacular scenery is more than worth the careful journey.
