Throughout the world there are places so inhospitable that humans cannot survive
there long term. In this new four-part series for Five, Donal MacIntyre puts his
life and reputation on the line as he explores life in some of the most
difficult environments on Earth. Donal shows what it is like to live on the very
edge of these places and will experience the natural world at its harshest first
hand. The series features some of the most spectacular locations in the world.
Combining survival know-how, journalistic observation, anthropology and physical
challenges, the outcome will never be certain for Donal in this brand new action
adventure series.

Bolivia
-------
The Altiplano region of Bolivia is one of the highest inhabited places in the
world where every breath is an effort. It is home to the Quechuan Indians who
worship Mother Earth with blood sacrifices, both animal and human. Donal takes
his chances at a Tinku festival where rival villages fight, sometimes to the
death, in honour of Mother Earth and battles high altitude exhaustion as he
struggles over mountain passes with a Llama train carrying salt to remote villages.
