Summary Donal MacIntyre explores life in some of the most difficult environments on Earth. The Altiplano region of Bolivia is one of the highest inhabited places in the world where every breath is an effort. It's home to the Quechuan Indians who worship Mother Earth with blood sacrifices, both animal and human. Donal takes his chances at a Tinku festival where rival villages fight, sometimes to the death, in honour of Mother Earth and battles high altitude exhaustion as he struggles over mountain passes with a Llama train carrying salt to remote villages.
