Aymara shamans, or amautas, in Bolivia are refusing to leave their El Alto homes despite being just steps away from a deadly fall.
Locals call the tents at the edge of the cliff “suicide houses” because of the high level of risk people face.
Structures are becoming increasingly unstable due to heavy rains and the impact of global warming.
City authorities have warned residents about the eroding cliff and are planning a forced evacuation if necessary.
