Bolivian Aymara shamans (Amauta) are refusing to leave their El Alto home, even though a fatal fall is just a few feet away.
Locals call the shacks on the edge of the cliffs “suicide houses” because of the high risk their residents take.
Due to heavy rain and global warming, structures are becoming increasingly unstable.
City officials have warned residents that the cliffs are eroding and are planning mandatory evacuations if necessary.
