The mining in La Rinconada District is about as difficult as can be imagined - fist the altitude- 17,700 feet above sea level - well above the altitude where oxygen is required for aviators -then the squalid conditions in the towns that supplies the housing but no running water or sewers. Then they pay - there is none - workers spend 30 days working for the mining company and are given one day to mine for themselves.
