A Dangerous Path--where is this?

Here is another video without the slick music. They are also passing other people on the path. Oh boy! I almost threw up.

I don't know if I'm more amazed that it exists, or the state of disrepair it is in.

I'll guess So. Amer. - it might be an old Inca path that gold miners modified -- just a guess; gold miners will do nearly anything and take any risk to get that gold...

Anybody know where it is?

Only watched half way on that latest one, the pucker factor became to great!

I wonder what kind of nads the people had that built that dam thing?
I mean someone hauled up all the steel and concrete before there was a path there

Yea, it's a path to somewhere with some holes in it, probably been there for 100 years. But you do what you have to do to live, and those people have adapted to it and get along with the path. It's not that far off the ground, and you have to be careful, so, who's next. I hope this place is not in the US, then we would have a grand government program to help these poor folks get to the "other side".
