Would you try one of the world's most dangerous tours?

PUT these at the end of your bucket list. If you don't die or get seriously injured you will have a great story to tell.

They're places that are ridiculously popular with tourists simply because of the risk. But many have questioned whether tourists should be allowed to visit these destinations at all. 

From bungee jumping over crocodile infested waters, to mining with dynamite, and cocaine lab tours. These are the holiday experiences you probably shouldn't tell your mum about. 

Have you been on a dangerous tour? Tell us all about it below:

Colombia's cocaine factory tours 

The drug that has plagued Colombia for years has now become a tourist attraction. For as little as $9 a guide will take tourists along the Caribbean coast to La Ciudad Perdida - The Lost City.

On the trail, the guide points out the many coca plants used to make the drug, before stopping off at a cocaine lab. Once at the lab - usually nothing more than just a piece of tarpaulin or a table - travellers are told how the drug is made.

These tours are not legal. Anyone caught with the drug makers could be arrested. 

Mining with dynamite in Bolivia

Does crawling around in mud on your hands and knees carrying a bag of dynamite sound like fun? That's exactly what you can do at the Silver Mines of Potosi, Bolivia. 

Travel blogger Britany Robinson published an article on her experience of touring the mines last week. In it she describes sloshing through flooded tracks leading down a dark tunnel wearing a mask that didn't seem to be doing much to filter out the dusty air. 

Prior to entering the mine, her tour group was taken to the market to purchase gifts for the miners – a selection of coca leaves, alcohol, juice and as an additional option - dynamite. Yes. Dynamite. 

Down in the mine the tour guide passed around 95 per cent alcohol from tourist to tourist and miner to miner before the dynamite show began. 

"Ten seconds and a lifetime later, the tunnel shook with a deep groan. Dirt and bits of rock rained down, just outside our hole", Robinson writes. "Despite a fairly accurate countdown, I let out a yelp and fell against the wall."

Needless to say the tour could be incredibly dangerous. 

Bungee jumping over crocodile infested waters

At the Victoria Falls bridge above the Zambezi River, tourists can leap head first over crocodile infested waters. The Safari Par Excellence website says the bungee experience is "111 metres of pure adrenaline!".

"Based on The Victoria Falls Bridge, the Bungi (sic) jump can certainly be classed as the most scenic in the world. Not for the faint hearted!".

It's not without risks, as 22-year-old Australian Erin Langworthy found out in December last year, when her bungee cord when the cord snapped in two and she fell with her feet tied together into the river.

"It felt like I had been slapped all over," she said. After hitting the water she started swimming downstream but her bungee cord became snagged on rocks.

"I actually had to swim down to yank the bungee cord out of what it was caught in," she said.

Tornado Chasing in the United StatesTravel the Death Road

Bolivia's Death road links La Paz to Coroico. It has been estimated between 200 to 300 travellers die on the 70km road every year.

Travel reporter Jessica Festa wrote about her journey on Death Road for the website Gadling. She says the name should be taken literally. 

"The terrain is rough and the road is narrow, so there isn't very much space to move over. Along the trail you can even see memorials dedicated to lost lives, like an area called "The Balcony," where several politicians were killed. If you climb down the steep valleys - which I don't advise - you can still see some buses that fell over the edge."

Death Road in Bolivia has often been called the most dangerous road in the world.

Since the beginning of the fatal United States storm season, at least 100 thrill seekers have booked a trip with Extreme Tornados – a company that specialises in taking tourists close to tornados. 

That's despite the fact that at least 20 people, including seven children, were killed by a series of tornadoes that swept through the Midwestern US state of Oklahoma at the start of June. 

Extreme Tornados promise an "exhilarating, life-changing" holiday. A week long chase costs $2600 plus meals and airfares.  The tours run from mid-April to July mostly in the southern part of the country as tornados arise.

"Some people just do it for the adrenaline rush and some people are kind of obsessed with weather," Dave Holder, one of the tornado tour guides told NBC. "It's the same kind of people who enjoy skydiving or mountain climbing"

Tube riding in Laos

Riding a tube down a river in Laos may sound harmless enough but combine that with drinking large quantities of unknown alcohol and you have a very dangerous situation. 

Last year Melbourne woman Annika Morris, 19, was pulled unconscious from the side of a river in Vang Vieng. Ms Morris fell ill after taking a shot of locally made whisky before getting in a tractor tube and riding down the river.

She lost her sight, fell unconscious while on the river and later stopped breathing. Her life was saved by a friend who knew how to perform CPR. 

Ms Morris's experience follows the deaths of two other Australian men tube riding in Laos. 

Sydney man Lee Hudswell, 26, died in January 2012, when he landed badly after jumping from a tower into a river while riding an inner tube. The body of Melbourne man Daniel Eimutis, 19, was found in the river the same month, three days after he disappeared while tubing. 

Despite these deaths, tube riding in Laos continues to attract hundreds of visitors every year with the promise of cheap accommodation, beer, sun and a float downstream. Take a look at the video these lads made of their recent trip to Laos. 

Pusher street in Christiania Denmark

It may be one of Denmark's biggest tourist attractions but by their own admission the area is "considered quite rough and dodgy".

Christiania was founded in 1971 when a group of people cut a hole in the fence of the military barracks in Badmandsgade. Soon the area was known as Pusher street - a place where people lived for free and you could buy drugs from stalls in the street. 

"According to Copenhagen police the area around Pusher Street is controlled by organised criminal groups," the Visit Copenhagen website says. "The residents themselves have adopted to a set of rules for security reasons, which they strongly advice visitors to abide by."

That includes no photographs, no running and no talking on the phone. In case you don't remember there are signs around Pusher street that say "Please do not run - it makes us think the police are coming."

Visitors who have violated the rules have been threatened, assaulted or robbed by hash dealers.

Tours of the area. Every day at 3pm throughout the summer (26 June  - 31 August) and every weekend the rest of the year. They cost $7.
