High in the Andes mountains, the people of Peru and Bolivia inhabit one of the most unique landscapes in the world. From rainforests to rocky slopes, towns and cities coexist with the wildlife and the natural topography in a way that seems as though they were created by nature as well as human innovation. 

The people living in  these cities blend historical traditions with the technological advancements of the modern age— retaining the beauty of their culture, dress, and craftsmanship and passing it down to the next generation. This video, directed and edited by Baptiste Lanne, highlights the beauty of both Peru and Bolivia’s varied climate, geography, and people, illustrating the complex balance of humanity and nature. The breathtaking scenes are interspersed with shots of people’s daily lives; both are equally beautiful.
