Deadliest Journeys - Bolivia: The Road Of Death
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 พ.ค. 2024
- 00:00 There are two worlds in Bolivia. That of the Altiplano, the highlands, perched at an altitude of more than 4000 meters. And that of the Amazon basin, which tops out at a few hundred meters above sea level. Between the two, there is a transition region, made of vertiginous precipices and trails that descend the Andean Cordillera in a few tens of kilometers. . It is the region of the Yungas, a country where the horizontal does not exist. In these valleys winds a road, the only means of communication between La Paz, the administrative capital of the country, perched on the Altiplano, and the riches of the Amazon basin. The Bolivians nicknamed it "el camino de la muerte", the road to death. Highest point: the La Cumbre pass, 4700 meters, at the exit of La Paz. 78 kilometers further, we are barely 900 meters. Along this road of the impossible, we follow the story of a community of cocaleros, coca growers clinging to the slopes of the mountain. To carry their loads to the road, they stretched makeshift cables made of simple iron wires across the valley. An infernal zip line, nearly 400 meters long, 200 meters above the ground. We also share the daily life of a vachero, a truck driver who transports cows from the Amazon basin to La Paz, the highest metropolis in the world. 25 hours of journey on the road to death, done without stopping. Because you have to go very quickly: if a cow dies, the driver pays.

Thank you for the upload.
Watching from 🇯🇲 I would walk the hour instead. I am afraid of heights... 🥰 these hardworking people. Hope they are successful in life.
Same here I'm with you on that n m heights lol
You won't b alone! Lol
they sure are succesful got that cocaino for the altitudes :D
Yep I'm with you on the walk!
I often follow these documentaries cause they constantly strengthen my hopes. I'm appreciative to the producer. Maximum education.
My heart leap when I watch this..the little boy tied in that bag looking thing and going across with his dad look scary...as a matter of fact it's scary all around.. hearing how that Lady speaks of her husband's death and listening that man speaks of those who fell so many feet on that road 😮😢
Yeah I was with them till the kid in the bag thing
Hardworking fathers salute...
Love from Philipines..i respect people of BOLIVIA.
Total respect to these humble hard working people. I can relate to them to some degree, as I came from poor agrarian family.
The sound the cables make is like space lazers in the movies 🤣. So many amazing hard working people all over the planet doing what it takes to get the job done. 👏
Love from Kenya 💞💞. The coca leaves are similar to miraa(khat) that we have in the eastern side of Kenya. I wish you can come and do a documentary on the miraa vehicles as they head to the market.
Exactly 💪💪
Looking on the edge of the road giving me goosebumps..😳😨
I can't even look down from tall building balcony, let alone this high. It's scary.
How lucky we are...or are we. Seems like these dudes know what life is.
Greetings from England .
Stay safe evry1 .

God bless you!
No sé cómo llegué a éste reportaje pero, ya hasta dio mareo, qué peligroso es éste camino...acá en México no hay caminos así, pero hay más peligros, acá te atoran los cárteles y...adiós!!!
I respect the people of Bolivia
So much respect for these people.
Love the part where they bless the Volvo with beer and burn candy as an offering to the Gods! Deadliest journeys is one of my favorite shows!
love from ZIMBABWE

A man that could neither read nor write came up with the ingenious cable pulley transportation system. Incredible!
A man of genius.
watching from Nepal 🇳🇵🇳🇵😍
Much love from damam city
Wwwaawwwww que chingonnnnn para manejar 😱😱 yo. Ya me diera un ataque de pánico !!!!
Though they have to travel through a hard journey. They are not complaint. They look happy instead. Good life God bless you all brothers and sisters ❤️❤️ from India
Generic pulleys used as cable rollers, these pulleys don't have bearings and are not designed for high RPM workload, a single bolt bears all the friction, heat and load and that too without proper lubrication. . .I wouldn't take a ride on one of those things no matter how much anyone offers me . . . It's like a written disaster waiting to happen.
FANTASTIC!
Flying like a bird across the valley.. it's happiness indeed
Pimp p
I seriously thought my TV was broken @ 2:39 (top right side looks damaged), had to use my phone to confirmed that my eyes are going crazy 😂🤣😆
Same in remote mountains in Philippines.
I can sense how much thin the air will be at 4700 M ! I already feel suffocation while watching this.
number 766 from tanzania :) Many will comment on how fun it must be to fly like them but they forget that they will need to climb a mountain to reach the ropes ;)
Haya ndugu
Sending love to all of these folks.
Duy chuyển quá nguy hiểm, có bao giờ xảy ra sự cố gì chưa?
I wish there will be bridge soon So local shouldn't have to risk their lives
Katakot naman lalo na yung bata weew 😰
You will see me on foot! No way would i want to risk that pulley system...leaves for brakes!! Wtf!. Very educational ❤
All these documentary had reinforced one of my belief, infrastructures and logistic make or break a nation's developments.
Brave People of Bolivia
God bless you all
Good
I'm more a of a bridge guy myself.
Thank God
How hard life for them. Scary.
Ancient rusting pulleys? Makes sense.
Omg, unbelievable
From i am nepali 🇳🇵 Now watching japan 🇯🇵 Tokyo .god blessed you everyone 😞😢😇😇🕉💐🙏🙏

I agree, it’s sad.
They are treating the Catteles very bad way God will see everything and punish them 😢😮

WTF is that vehicle .......???

Is that a guy on a wooden motorcycle, scooter I can't wrap my head around that thing
watching from the Philippines
@Uncle Jed yes we have some risky roads here in Philippines. Baguio travels and some other provinces🙏
watching from MARS
The weakest point is where it’s tied off at the anchor point, it won’t last forever, unfortunately someone will die from a horrific fall.
it is already uploaded :/
Ups to these people, that would be scary...string hold the bolts in place lol...fabric knots to hold ya to the pulley lol...where's the safety inspector lol
It's a repost. . . .
This is how my parents went to school in those days.
ALL HAIL THE DON IGNACIO!!!👏👏👏👏
บ้านอยู่ที่เชียงของใกล้เชียงรายเดินทางลำบาก..ต้องใช้สกายวอร์คเคเบิล..ขนสัมภาระด้วยไม่ต้องหนัก..#฿!?
So dangerouse.
Narrator: welcome to Bolivia where people fly😎😎
"His body was shattered... his guts were splattered everywhere. It was horrible."... Yeah, I'll say! Holy shit, man, I feel sorry for that lady. Based on how she described it, it sounds like she saw the aftermath of her husband's death with her own eyes. That said, the fact that the narrator said there have been only 3 deaths in the last 20 years--mostly due to negligence--actually seems like a pretty good safety record for that ramshackle cable system.
Pobres vacas 😢
From Kenya where interment speed is unparalleled faster
🤣🤣🤣🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪 fellow
สกายเคเบิลมองคนละแนวกับซิพลาย!?
Bullshippers toughest driving job there is.... live cargo...load and go
Ha! True. Nobody messes with the bull haulers. Not even the cops. There's no way I would do it. Give me a nice quiet load.
😮😮
If govt assisted these rural villagers things would be a lot easier.
Wakenya hawakosangi 😂 internet kwani mnapewa
Eeeh ngori sana😂😂😂
am here kama kawa
👍👍👍👍❤️❤️
Christ the inventor ain't Thug Theory.. Respect Hence, The guy who stuck on the middle of the rope was so happy responding that is was twice not only one..😆
Anjiiirrr
The first thing id do is move away from that place and settle near the town area , near enough that I won't have to travel like shit but also far enough that I am not anywhere in and around the twon or city area and I can work or farm as usual and don't have to pay for shit but also near enough that it only takes me a few hours to reach the outskirts of the town. (Outskirts of towns or cities are so far off from the center that it feels like we are in another town itself and when I travel a few hours from the outskirts of the town and not the main town or centre of the town now im far enough from the husel and bussel of the town but near enough that I don't have to travel for days to sell my products
✌️☺️
มองเห็นใช้สลิงค์สายข้ามป่าเขาระหว่างทั้งคน..(ตน).และสัมภาระ..ก็แปลกดี.คล้ายลัทธิ.[ซุนวูดู]!?
From indonesia
Ngarti kitu, paca mama??? Hehehe
😱😱😱😱😱
very denger road
Why not hire two guys and place them a distance apart with walkie-talkie so one stops trucks while one direction is going one way...
It so hard to watch feel sorry for the people y can the government do something for the people they are so brave
I not doing that , the only highest i climbing is bed height
Thank what we could do if we could somehow help these families we spend more than they make on a dinner out…
😔😭😭😭😵😵😱
coca is the opposite of a "narcotic". pretty daft mistake.
We all face certian death.. have patience...all comes to he who waits... hahaha dry humor
Why can't the government do something about these roads and put metal grills? God be with them
I hope they were able to get something better to put the boy in...
So this is where ziplining came from.
People pay big $$ to do this in the states isnt coca a big crop in S.A?
