The World’s Most Dangerous Bridges, Ranked

With its candy-colored ropes and jungle backdrop, the Tigbao Hanging Bridge in Bohol looks cheerful from afar. Up close, it’s something else entirely. Made of bamboo slats and swaying steel cables, it stretches over the Loboc River like a carnival ride designed by someone with a wicked sense of humor.

Each step produces a squeak and a slight dip. Tourists laugh—until the bounce kicks in. Below, the river winds lazily, oblivious to the tension above. It’s not a death trap—but it loves pretending to be. The danger is in your head, but the butterflies in your stomach are real.
