The Cholita Climbers of Bolivia Scale Mountains in Skirts
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- “Cholitas” are Bolivian women with indigenous heritage known for their colorful attire, round top hats and ornate earrings. In the world’s highest capital city of La Paz, Bolivia, 11 Cholitas are on a mission to overcome sexism and discriminatory attitudes and climb mountains in their traditional garb. Led by Jimena Lidia Huaylas, the Cholita Climbers were once high-mountain cooks. But since December 2015, they've been ascending the country's snowy peaks as mountain climbers. United by their love of mountains and a sense of defiance, the Cholita Climbers will stop at nothing to attain the feeling of freedom that comes from scaling great heights.

Love the mix of traditional and modern in their climbing outfits! Great group of Inspiring ladies

Paul Foster hello
This is beautiful, what amazing women. I feel moved seeing them so happy.
Never have I ever felt this pride of being Bolivian and what is more, I am feeling like this not because of Bolivian men, but because of Bolivian women!
It’s a fact that in my country “machismo” culture rules at many homes, so they are real badass, love that women ❤️
Que orgullo haber nacido en el mismo país y ciudad que ellas ❤️
Thank you for letting them tell us their amazing story
I really love watching these kind of stories. Hope to meet you guys soon

These women are awesome. Remain feminine while pursuing their goals. I love them so much. Mountain Climbing sure adventuresome.
Can they release more in spanish? I wanna be able to just listen to it as I eat breakfast instead of using subtitles.
This video made me so happy.

ANY BOLIVIANS OUT THERE?
TheEpiCool sup
TheEpiCool yes
Hi
Hi kids
Do they speak spanisg
Mega Extravaganza ..but they are speaking Spanish, they just have a strong accent.
And they climb in skirts too!
How is it that all these people can speak in subtitles? I go to these countries and can't understand any of them!
Glatix you have to turn on captions in your head
Bolivian women are though
😀
wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww'
Cholita? LOL, That means something *very* different to American Mexicans.
The term became more positive for them over the years. Different regions, different meanings.
pues es hora de educarse y aprender sobre otras culturas e idiomas.
cholitas lol
Stfu
I will use a man's technology to climb the mountain as a woman.
paul gleason what is the point of this comment?
It sounds as if he's coming out as a woman.
Gardenia Hyacinth Really? Look it up buddy. Men made the world the great place that it is.
+Void Gambit It came across as insecure, more than anything.
All man comes from woman.
We must always respect them.
Lol m8 is that a disabled persons helmet
omg. i expected a good attitude but its the same. they wan't to be like men. every time a women says "if men why not us" it just shows how badly they want to be like us
are you drunk .!?!?
watch the complete video.
while you watch it
also read what they have written and listen all at the same time.
then yoh wont feel compelled to dump you ignorant crappolla everywhere you go.
sincerely
whats is the point? if they still think like that. according to your logic you should also appreciate a man doing the same thing as them but think of women the same way these women do.
scRam Jet... you probably want to be a man. Start by never ever again saying "omg". Then, get rid of that damn anime avatar, and never watch anime or read manga again.
