World’s Toughest Train Rides | Bolivia: Railway to Nowhere | Free Documentary
World’s Toughest Train Rides – Vietnam: https://youtu.be/AgahS_Tkjao
Since the 1860s, Bolivia has gradually lost land to its neighbors, leaving the country landlocked and without access to coastal ports. In response, Chile and Brazil agreed to build railways connecting Bolivia to their coasts, but these routes have suffered from poor maintenance and underinvestment. Our journey follows the historic railways from the Brazilian Pantanal to the Chilean coast.
The trip begins in Corumbá, Brazil, once Bolivian territory, and travels along Bolivia’s eastern railway, built to support the country’s agricultural boom. Passing through Santa Cruz and Sucre, the journey reveals the challenges of Bolivia’s disconnected and underused rail networks, with many tracks abandoned and communities isolated. In some cases, people walk for days to reach operational stations.
In Potosí, known for its silver mines, the railway remains essential for transporting minerals to the Pacific. Continuing through the Uyuni Salt Flats, the route highlights Bolivia’s mining legacy and its rich lithium deposits. The journey reaches La Paz, Bolivia’s administrative capital, where once-busy rail lines have been replaced by an expansive cable car system. From here, the final stretch travels from the highlands to the Chilean coast, overcoming high-altitude challenges and derailments, and illustrating Bolivia’s ongoing struggle to maintain its vital railways.
