Living in the ANDES | How People Farm at 14,000 Feet Above Sea Level | 4K Travel Documentary

There's a mountain range where people farm at 14,000 feet, build cities above the clouds, and live longer at altitudes that would leave most visitors gasping for air. Welcome to the Andes — the longest mountain range on Earth, stretching 4,300 miles through seven countries, home to the highest capital city on the planet, the highest navigable lake, the largest salt flat, and a lost Inca city that stayed hidden for almost 400 years. In this 4K travel documentary, we explore how people actually live in the Andes Mountains — from the farmers still using 500-year-old Inca terraces in Peru's Sacred Valley, to the floating reed islands of Lake Titicaca, to La Paz, Bolivia, the highest capital city in the world. We uncover the ancient farming techniques that gave the world the potato, walk through Machu Picchu at sunrise, cross the mirror-like Salar de Uyuni salt flat, and meet the condors, vicuñas, and alpacas that call this thin air home. This is Andes Mountains life like you've never seen it — high-altitude farming, Inca engineering, Quechua and Aymara culture, and the festivals, food, and family traditions that have survived for centuries at the top of the world.
