Bolivia

Crawling through a very tight, cramped tunnel about 500 metres in and 3 levels down a Silver mine near Potosi.  Breathing and physical exertion were very difficult and I wasn´t even swinging a pic axe or a shovel so I can´t imagine what it must be like for the miners, some of which I saw were only 14-15 years old.
