LA PAZ (Reuters) - In Bolivia s Valley of the Souls, razor sharp rock formations pierce the blue sky above the nearby highland city of La Paz, from where urban sprawl over years has left the picturesque spot littered with plastic waste and construction rubble.
Now the rocky canyon is getting a clean up amid a wider push to spruce up the South American country s scenic spots and waterways, with hundreds of volunteers, aided by heavy machinery, shifting over 15 tons of debris in the last week.

The highland lake is based in the Oruro Department of western Bolivia, which saw a major drought back in 2016. This significantly lowered the water levels, all while rivers flowing into it deposited large quantities of plastic waste, building up over years.
