  • “Cholitas” are Bolivian women with indigenous heritage known for their colorful attire, round top hats and ornate earrings. In the world’s highest capital city of La Paz, Bolivia, 11 Cholitas are on a mission to overcome sexism and discriminatory attitudes and climb mountains in their traditional garb. Led by Jimena Lidia Huaylas, the Cholita Climbers were once high-mountain cooks. But since December 2015, they've been ascending the country's snowy peaks as mountain climbers. United by their love of mountains and a sense of defiance, the Cholita Climbers will stop at nothing to attain the feeling of freedom that comes from scaling great heights.

    Never have I ever felt this pride of being Bolivian and what is more, I am feeling like this not because of Bolivian men, but because of Bolivian women!
    It’s a fact that in my country “machismo” culture rules at many homes, so they are real badass, love that women ❤️
    Que orgullo haber nacido en el mismo país y ciudad que ellas ❤️

      whats is the point? if they still think like that. according to your logic you should also appreciate a man doing the same thing as them but think of women the same way these women do.
