La Rinconada in Peru is 5,100 metres above sea level and is a hub for crime because of its isolation
La Rinconada, Peru, the highest town in the world, has been described as a lawless place due to its isolation from civilisation. The town, situated an incredible 5,100 metres above sea level, is often shrouded in clouds and has become a hotbed for crime.
He added: "I think they just end up gravitating towards a place like this, where you end up with some pretty rough personalities." Many visitors to La Rinconada struggle with the high altitude, including the YouTuber himself, reports the Express. He also mentioned hearing gunshots, screams, and the sound of drunk people breaking bottles. Despite the town's natural beauty, he observed the negative impact humans have had on the environment there.
"The thin, oxygen-poor air is loaded with mercury vapour that slowly penetrates people's lungs, affecting over time the nervous system, memory, body motor, often leading to paralysis and early death."
