Eoin Sheahan's Diverted | 3. Bolivia: Blood, Sweat, and Tear gas
In this episode, we go on a journey into the Bolivian highlands for a completely unique festival called “Tinku.” It takes place in a tiny town called Macha, which is not exactly a tourist hot spot. The aim of the game is to fight thy neighbour in order to spill blood and satisfy the Andean gods, which are all-powerful to the indigenous Aymara community.We drink with the locals, dance with the locals and some of us fight with the locals. It is a chaotic couple of days, and one of the world’s most unusual sporting traditions.Also, we visit La Paz and El Alto and talk about the fighting Cholitas, and we hop on a Mountain bike down Death Road.Before all that, there’s part four of the Patagonian hitchhiking journey, as Eoin is still trying to get himself to the town of Esquel.Follow Eoin…https://www.instagram.com/eoinsheahan/https://x.com/EoinSheahanhttps://www.tiktok.com/@eoinsheahanEmail:
