Why This City Shouldn’t Exist But Does Anyway

High in the Peruvian Andes, La Rinconada is the highest city on Earth — sitting over 5,000 meters (16,400 feet) above sea level. Life here is extreme: freezing temperatures, thin oxygen, treacherous gold mines, and no running water. In this video, we explore the harsh reality of survival in this isolated mining town, the dangers faced by its residents, and why thousands still choose to call it home. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to live at the top of the world, this is the story you need to see.
