Bolivian Spanish word

el derrumbe

Meaning: the landslide (earth/rocks onto the road)

How it is used in Bolivia

The ordinary rainy-season reality of the Yungas: after heavy rain, part of a slope can slide onto the road. It's asked about and confirmed with the source, never treated as a thrill and never called safe or dangerous.
