    🇧🇴 South America has a reputation for danger and violence. And so whilst on my short stay in Bolivia I decided to take a cable car up to El Alto which is a part of La Paz known by locals as a place for theft and violence. Would I survive with my camera? Watch and find out...

    Going into “dangerous” former soviet areas where you are familiar with the language, culture, and able to assess a situation well is very different to knowing if you might be in danger as a tourist in South America.

  • @Mike25654
    @Mike25654 3 года назад +1885

    Dangerous doesn't mean that you are going to get mugged, kidnapped or killed right away. Just that the probability is a lot higher.
    Going there and saying "See here, nothing happened to me" is like smoking and saying "See here, I am still alive".

    I feel like Latin America is way way more dangerous than Eastern Europe. Theres a reason why those countries have the highest murder rates. I might be prejudiced because I grew up in Honduras, but dang dude, when you have not only old people, but tons of random young people walking up to you and trying to warn you with absolutely no prompting, that just gives me extreme anxiety. I would not even walk into the hood of the town I grew up in. Just be careful in Latin America bald. Tons of nice people, but too many that want to do harm, especially as a gringo who doesn't speak the language

    10:45 that dude was trying to warn you , that if you keep attracting attention , they will kill you . This guy was in a bad city for just a few hours and not at night where the majority of the crime happens . If you stayed there for a few nights, I promise you that you would of found exactly what you were looking for . Be careful and don’t take a lucky peaceful 1hr walk in a bad city for granted . I walked through the hoods in LA many times during that day . It’d a different story at night
