Uros and Aymaras: Enduring the Extreme Altitudes and Climate of the Andes | SLICE l FULL DOCUMENTARY

In the heart of the Andes, where the air is thin and the landscapes are otherworldly, two remarkable communities have adapted to life at breathtaking altitudes.

At Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world, the descendants of the Uros Indians live on incredible floating islands. Here, 250 families make their living from this vast freshwater sea, creating an unusual world suspended between heaven and reeds.

Meanwhile, deep in the Bolivian altiplano, at an altitude of 3700 meters, lies the largest salt desert in the world. In this lunar landscape, the Aymara Indians have been exploiting the region's only wealth for centuries: salt.
Join us on a journey to discover the resilient people of the Andes, who have not only survived but thrived in some of the most challenging environments on Earth.
