Since the 1860s, Bolivia has lost land to all its surrounding countries, leaving it land locked and without vital access to coastal ports. As compensation, both Chile and Brazil agreed to build railways from Bolivia to their coasts, but they haven’t received proper investment since. Zay Harding travels along these railways from the Brazilian Pantanal to the Chilean coast.
