I meant literally. After I secured someone in the passenger seat for example.

Then - I'd say .... el camino va a estar lleno de baches (or bultos) - if you're in car or road vehicle that is.

If you were in a plane however, you'd be better off saying something like - vamos a tener un vuelo agitado - or, con turbulencias.

I agree, MC - "batches" or in the city "topes" ¡ja ja! - 005faa61, Jan 23, 2013
Thanks JC that's a new one for me - topes? I've only come across tope as the limit or perhaps a doorstop? What does it mean in this phrase? - Kiwi-Girl, Jan 23, 2013

Un camino difícil

If you just want to say a difficult road/journey/path (figuratively speaking)

Do you mean literally or full of problems?

Full of problems - una experiencia difícil, un camino difícil/complicado

Literally bumpy - lleno de baches
