#photo#Bolivia This is the Chambi family from Bolivia. Eric, his wife and children, work as saleros or salt gatherers. Eric rides his old pickup truck to get salt blocks. He’s been collecting them for three years to build a small hotel. After a few thousand salt blocks, Eric finally opened his business in December 2019. Instead of a new start of not having to chop salt from the earth’s crust under the scorching sun, the Covid pandemic struck. Not a single tourist has stayed at Eric’s hotel since March 2020. Eric keeps coming to the salt flats to bring more salt blocks in his truck. Sometimes, his family keeps him company. RT Documentary’s Pavel Baydikov and Artyom Vorobey are in Bolivia, shooting a new documentary about saleros. Stay tuned for the premiere and subscribe to our channel not to miss anything.
