La Rinconada, the highest city in the world at 5,200 meters, faces severe living conditions despite its gold mining allure. Officially housing 7,000 residents, the actual population is around 30,000, many suffering from altitude-related health issues. The city lacks basic infrastructure, including sewage systems, and is difficult to access. Miners work under hazardous conditions, often without pay for 30 days, while safety is a major concern due to rampant crime. La Rinconada is also known for its illegal bars and human trafficking issues, with authorities struggling to maintain order.
