Показать описание
00:00 In Bolivia, there exist two contrasting worlds. The Altiplano, also known as the highlands, rises over 4,000 meters above sea level, while the Amazon Basin lies just a few hundred meters high. Bridging the gap between these two is the Yungas, a transition region characterized by steep cliffs and pathways that descend from the Andean Cordillera within a short distance. The Yungas is remarkable for its absence of horizontal terrain.

The Road of Death winds its way as a vital means of connection between La Paz, situated on the Altiplano, and the Amazon basin. Locally known as "el camino de la muerte," the route reaches its highest point at the Col de La Cumbre, towering at 4,700 meters. Over a span of 78 kilometers, the elevation drops to a mere 900 meters. We follow the tale of a community of coca growers who have stretched makeshift cables across the valley, utilizing simple iron wires to transport their cargo to the road. Additionally, we delve into the daily life of a vachero, a truck driver who transports cows from the Amazon basin to La Paz. He embarks on the grueling 25-hour journey without breaks, as any cow casualties result in the driver assuming responsibility.
